do deep heat paatches help whilst working jojo. Im mythed by what can help especielly when painkillers don't ass i dont want to pump my body full of them all the time. x

They give good heat for several hours, especially if you move a lot, the more you move the hotter they become.

Give them a try on their own, or in combination with some painkillers (take less than normal) xx

thanks hun will give it a try. i get pains in odd places though like through my hip area inner thigh and groin thats where the pain tends to travel etc

I find being curled upon the sofa hugging my knees helps sometimes. Thats usually combined after having a hot bath and taking strong painkillers though

Hope you have some relief soon, x
