Perfect Remedy 2-Pack Gel Ice Packs for Injuries Reusable Hot Cold Pack Thats Durable Soft Flexible Fast Relief

Excellent ice pack to cool my new replaced knee joint after my Physical Therapy working it (bends, short walks, etc) I got several of these - they lay flat in freezer (dont take up much room), and they wrap around the knee to provide more consistent cooling (be sure to wrap it in something like a hand towel so its not laying directly on the skin). Then I use elastic athletic wrap to hold it in place (that stretchy brown wrap). Worked great, I was able to exercise knee with PT and with a walker, then ice it for half hour and pop back in freezer several times a day, and didnt need or use any pain pills (just slightly stronger Tylenol, and Aleve). After 3 days, I switched from using a walker to walking on my treadmill, so I could practice a proper stride and set a consistent pace and distance - a mile at 1.5 mph. After just 18 days, I was outside, walking a mile with no support, no crutch, no cane, just out walking pretty normal. If youre looking at knee replacement, how bad or good it is depends on how committed you are to doing the PT. Most important is the "heel slide", laying on back, slide your heel, bending the knee up as much as you can ten times, holding it at peek bend for 10 seconds. Then again, but this time with a strap around your foot to pull it, trying to relax the knee muscles so just the strap is pulling it up Try to get to where it hurts a little but is not really painful. Dont worry, the first day or 2 you might not be able to move it at all, but it soon gets better. Then keeping leg straight, raise the foot about 6 inches up, and hold for 5 seconds, working up to 10 seconds. The PT for going down stairs and getting out of cars is just stand holding back of a chair, and bend the knee / calf as far back as you can, lifting the foot as high as you can. Dont bend the hip, just the knee. The PT folks send me home after just half the sessions cuz I was already at desired goals (bend the knee 120+ degrees, and walking down stairs). Bottom line, if you just had a knee replaced, then you've got nowhere to be and nothing else to do, so might as well work on getting better, so do your PT, and dont forget to ice it. Do PT (heel slides etc), and WALK a lot. After reading all the stories about how long it takes to recover from knee replacement, I found one who was out walking after 6 weeks, so that was my goal. I was walking in 18 days. And still doing the PT bends for several more weeks cuz the knee is still healing, so dont let it heal just straight, keep working on max bend. Also used them when I had my hips replaced, which is relatively easy compared to knee. Basically do the PT, ice it, and walk around pretty normally with a cane for 5-6 weeks, then youre done.

We actually used this for two reasons, one child had lockjaw and needed to apply heat to the TMJ, this worked perfectly, the inserts were rated for heat or cool. The strap held the inserts in pockets and it fit snugly around the head to hold them in place. This was also used for a child who had wisdom teeth removed, again, held the ice packs in place well. The material is soft and comfortable around the head. Read more

It might not be the most comfortable thing to wear but it helps so much with tmj pain. It stays on decently, though the velcro area is a bit less strong after about 2 months. The packs heat quickly and freeze in a couple hours. Read more

These are great ice packs that stay cold for a long while. The only drawback is that when they freeze, the gel is very hard and rigid (it’s not a gel that stays flexible when frozen). It takes 15 minutes or so for it to soften up enough to mold around where you need it. Otherwise, they’re nice and sturdy. Read more

Due to neuropathy I sleep pretty much packed in ice, and after much searching this is the on;y gel ice pack that I continue to buy. Here is why: - It gets very cold. This is effective for me. - The cold is ridiculously long lasting - At least a couple of hours when exposed to a lot of body heat, and just laying on top of a limb more like 4 to 5 hours. I keep an extra set of cold packs next to my bed in case I wake up during the night, either in an insulated lunch bag or wrapped in a scarf, and either way with that extra bit of insulation these stay cold all night. Durability - I fold these, scrunch them up, and generally abuse them. I use them daily, and after over a year of use none have sprung a leak yet. Flexibility - I like my gel ice packs to solidify, as I have never had one that stays completely soft stay cold for any significant amount of time. These solidify but remain flexible, enough that I can bend them in half when they are frozen "solid". Highly recommended by me, somebody who could not survive without cold packs! Read more

Absolutely with the money. Had shoulder surgery and these were my lifeline after the surgery. Was so impressed with how well they stayed frozen. They were so ease to use and so easy to place in the freeze in a bent position so it would adhere to my shoulder. So comfortable on on the shoulder and the quality of the gel is amazing. You are not wasting your money on this product. Read more
