MUELLER Sports Medicine Reusable Cold & Hot Pack, Ice Pack for Injuries and Pain Relief, Blue

I have nothing but good things to say about this product. I had a total hysterectomy a few weeks ago and the pain was pretty serious the first few days. I needed both heat and cold in order to help manage my pain. This really did the trick. The first day we heated it in the microwave per the printed instructions right on the pack itself, and it worked marvelously. Stayed warm for a long time and was large enough to cover the area needed. The cover is very soft and the gel inside is thick and swishy. It was comfortable against my body. The next few days I needed it cold to reduce swelling. It froze very quickly, stayed cold for awhile. It never once tore, burst, or leaked. My only regret is not getting two to alternate during times of need. I would suggest to anyone who is having major swelling or a bad injury to do this to lessen times between re-freezing or hot/cold alternating. Otherwise now that I don’t need it all the time, I keep it in the freezer and use it as needed. It’s held up great.

I have had joint pain for 20 years, i have bunions, arthritis, and gout. These are the best as they are still flexible when frozen, unlike all the others. Put inside a zip lock baggie and wrap around the joint and secure with a long cloth bandage and it will make the affected area cold for 15mins. I have 3 that i keep in rotation. Recommended.

I have only used as cold pack. Bought a second one so I can swap out. I’ve had my first one for over a year and it’s still going strong. The contents are sort of gel-like even when frozen. Also, unlike some other brands they don’t take on that ‘freezer smell’. My freezer is completely cleaned out and some ice packs still get that frozen plastic smell but these do not.

I bought my first Mueller hot/cold pack for 99-cents. Despite the ridiculous increase in price over the years, I still buy them (although it pains me to do so). They hold cold for a decent amount of time, are pliable to cover neck, knees, and shoulders, they're durable, and a stack of them won't take up a lot of freezer space. I just wish they were a better buy.

My old ones have been in my freezer for over 10 years! Went through many knee surgery’s and ready for another! I love the fabric and quality! It’s large enough to use across back or knee. I always wrap it in hand towel. I advise to get two so one is always ready. My old one does not go in microwave but this one says it does. Can’t go wrong. Cheaper on Amazon than in drug stores
