Easy Homemade Rice-Filled Heating PadPosted on Friday 10 November 2006 at 12:31 PM - Post CommentMy lower back has been hurting a bit lately and one of the things that I've found has helped is my homemade rice-filled heating pad. It was so simple to make. I took an old sock that had long since lost it's mate (and I saved in case that mate ever showed up again...or until I could find a use for it ), filled it with rice (not minute rice) and popped it into the microwave for a minute or so. You have to be careful because it can be really hot and I had to use a towel to keep from burning my back. Ok, it's not the most beautiful thing, but it helped a lot! So, I'm thinking about making up a couple nicer ones to keep around...one small bean bag size and one larger size for areas like my back. I know I've got some extra fabric around somewhere that I can use.  Once I get them made I'll post pictures.
