Inexpensive, Easy To Do ... To Relieve Pain!

Tweet

Yesterday, I decided to make something I've only read about for many years. Something sworn by to bring comfort to pain when one feels it in their hands, joints, neck ... injuries. Something so inexpensive to make ... you normally always have such on hand at home all the time. If I'd known how nice ... how effective it was ... I'd made it a long time ago. I got a new pair of socks out of my drawer ... opened the end of each up ... instead of putting my feet into them ... I filled each sock up loosely with ... rice! I, then, sewed each opening closed. I placed one of the rice bags (it became rice bag once I sewed the opening closed ) ... into the microwave, got it as hot as I wanted. I sat down ... placed both hands on the rice bag. I do a lot all the time with my hands ... they have been aching a lot lately. That's what drove me into finding ... inexpensive, effective pain relief at home. My fingers enjoying playing with the warmth of the rice inside the sock. I fell asleep ... when I woke up I thought how nice it is to have something so warm, comforting on my aching hands ... not worry about falling asleep with it. If it had been an electric heating pad ... going to sleep isn't safe. Gracious, the rice bag worked! The rice was inside the sock loosely which meant I could 'mold' it on my hand, around my wrist ... for the warmth to be effective. I fell in love with ... this new novelty. One could put it on their knee ... that is why I made Skip a rice bag too ... for his aching knee. The rice bag can 'drape' over his knee, lay close to it. I wanted to share this ... who knows it might be just what someone needed to hear to get immediate comfort to an aching joint, hand, knee ... neck. All needed is as much rice you want to use ... in each sock I put about a 1/2-1 pound of rice, sock, needle and thread ... oh, a microwave to heat it in. You use whatever amount of rice as you want ... if you make it. If you try it, let me know. I'm so interested. Then ... again, I might be the last person to know about such a wonderful comfort thing. Oh ... just a little tip ... at first I put small red beans into one of the socks. When I heated it in the microwave ... I didn't like the scent that came from the sock. It wasn't a bad scent ... it just wasn't pleasant to me. Thus, that's where the rice came in ... that's a nice scent. I opened the sock up, poured out the beans, refilled with rice.
