I have severe chronic pain from multiple conditions and despite the strong medications I take daily, there is one item in my house that does some serious heavy lifting for my pain control, especially during cold weather: my electric heating pad.
I have one in the living room, another in my study and a third plugged in next to my bed. I use it on my abdomen for my severe endometriosis, and to ease pain from the dislocations I live with daily because of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos, a connective tissue disorder.
