Long Reusable Gel Ice Pack for Injuries (6 X 20 Inches) Adjustable Straps - Premium Quality Hot Cold Pack - Pain Relief Wrap for Lower Back Knees Hips Shoulder Ankle Muscle Cramps by Life and Limb Gel

Because I am making a glowing review, I need to say that I have NO incentive to do so. I have not received any free item nor do I personally know anyone in the Life and Limb company. Some products simply deserve a glowing review and this is one of them.I have had my issues with chronic rotator cuff inflammation. As a physician, I view these products with a very critical eye. I have tried several different shoulder ice/heat products and this is, by far, the best there is in my opinion. Some of these very similar products sell for well over $100. This product is extremely well designed and the manufacture is of the highest quality. The Life and Limb company is a small family business and I sincerely commend them for providing such a high quality, American made (I believe) product at such a reasonable price.With all of these shoulder products, the first application can require some help, but once it is fitted it is much easier. I am 6ft 240# with 48in chest and had no problems with the fit. The Life and Limb company will customize these for the "outliers" of size.Here's a little trick. The instructions say to start by placing the affected arm into the arm strap, then adjusting the chest strap, which can require reaching around the back to grab the chest strap. I do the opposite. Once the chest strap is fitted the first time, I leave it attached. I remove and replace the device by the arm strap, making sure it remains attached to the BACK part of the arm component. Now, when I put the device on, I slip my head and my non-injury arm through the chest strap so the arm component is laying on top of my injury shoulder. I just reach the arm strap with my non-injury arm and attach the strap to the front of the arm component.Look no further! This is perfection.

I have suffered from migraines for years, and have used various ice packs to help get me through the pain. just putting an ice pack on your head and lying down helps, but isn't as good as a pack that secures to your head. So I purchased the Revix migraine wrap, which does help a lot when lying down and it covers your eyes and provides pretty good relief. The problem with a big wrap like that though is that I couldn't get it to fit comfortably enough to be able to just walk around with, especially since it is designed to cover the eyes. I also couldn't get it to fit right because of my glasses. So I decided to find a smaller wrap that just covers the forehead and allows you to adjust it to fit your head. I found these wraps, and they are perfect. They are a little cold when I take them out of the freezer, but not so bad that I can't wear them. I usually will just take it off for a few minutes at a time until the warm up a little. They last quite a while and since there are two, you can swap one out when one isn't cold anymore. I am able to wear them comfortable while being up and doing things and my glasses don't get in the way of them at all. My only real complaint would be that it's kind of a hassle getting the ice pack into the wrap because it doesn't slide in easily, but that's minor. I am very happy with this purchase.

Literally using it right now because if a migraine. I dont see how people say it doesnt get cold. Had it in my freezer for 5 hours or so and it is so cold that I have to keep moving it because it starts to hurt. After 15 minutes, it just got to the point where the coldness didnt hurt anymore. At a half hour, it's still cold. It doesnt feel cold to my fingers when holding it, but it's still really cold on my forehead. Based on how long this has lasted, I can see it staying cold for close to an hour, but still staying cool enough for relief for probably 1.5 to 2 hours. It isnt doing a whole lot for my migraine but not much helps them go away for me. So honestly I dont know if they work for headaches or not. But they definitely are a very good ice pack and hold their cold temperatures very well. I dont like using the microwave for these headache relief type headbands because I have had a different brand one catch on fire in my microwave. So no experience for that aspect of it. So if ice packs help you, these last a lot longer than most ice packs I've used.

I do IgG infusions on a biweekly basis and I needed a new ice pack that would cover my entire abdomen, velcro around me, and that would be comfortable, as my cruddy little one just wasn’t cutting it. Enter the Life & Limb gel pack.This sucker is life changing. Not only does it cover the areas for my infusion insertion sites, it perfectly covers my entire trunk (5’4”, 129 lbs) without cutting into me or being too bulky/large. It is so freaking comfy. The fact that it molds to shape is also great. This means there’s no extra added pressure on those needles and the velcro is SO easily adjustable; there’s no loops to run it through and it just stays comfortably in place. I can do my set up standing up and then relax and sit or lay down with ease for the duration. No readjusting or having to be extra careful about positioning. I tossed the gel packs in the freezer as soon as the box arrived and by infusion time, they were icy icy cold...and the best part - they stayed cold! And... y’all... I wasn’t soaked in condensation. Holy cow. Perfect thickness, whether for cold or warmth.For me, this is a BIG deal and it will definitely help to make infusions go smoooooth from now on. I also look forward to trying it out heated up and see the magic it works on achy back muscles.Thank you, Life & Limb, and also thank you for giving back to preservation and your local community!
