heating pad?
I called my doctors office today b/c ive been having back pain(7 mths post op) and I asked about a heating pad. my nurse told me only 20 minutes at a time and on low. I was just wondering why that is?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi...
You should ask the nurse to be certain, but I suspect it's because the heating pad will inflame the area, and potential inhibit the fusion process.
