Spoonie Survival Kit must haves #3: Best ice pack for chronic pain.
Spoonies need temperature therapy. & nothing is better than convenient temperature therapy that doesn't require you to keep getting up and exacerbate your symptoms or keep asking for assistance to cool or heat whatever object you use to relieve pain. Now this sounds crazy but my favourite ice pack is one that is meant to cool down lunches. The coldness lasts about 4-5 hours instead of the 1 hour most pain relieving ice packs last. My favourite is from Arctic Zone, it’s decent sized (at least to me it is) and I think it’s size is also accommodating to those with joint pain, I get severe facial pains and it covers my whole face so I think it should be able to cover a decent portion of a joint. It’s always a good idea to stock up on these babies if possible, so that you or your caretaker can just keep switching them out throughout the day.
I’m not sure if they are sold individually or if they but they have
definitely made a pleasant change in my life.
If I find a cheaper version without the lunch pack I will update this!
