Hi all, just wondering if you could help me out. I have the worst shoulder pain I've ever had (have had this type of pain before thanks to RA), and since I am pregnant can't take my anti-inflammatories and I don't really know what else there is at this stage.

I have been putting heat on it, which helps a lot. Just a damp teatowel microwaved for 30 seconds lol. But the heat doesn't last very long, so I am back and forward heating it up... which is a real PITA at night - when my shoulder starts hurting again it wakes me up, which means very broken sleep!

Does anyone know of a good heat pack which stays hot, one that is not too awkward to put on my shoulder (a hot water bottle is a bit hard to keep balanced on my shoulder!). I have heard of one that I think are filled with wheat? What are they like?

Or, does anyone know how to make a good heat pack?

TIA.
