A member asked:
What is the difference in results of using a clay heat pack for knee stiffness v.s. using a warm cloth bag of rice is one better than the other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both do the job but: Clay one may get too hot & cause burn. Clay's advantage, however, is that it retains heat longer than bag of rice does. Just have to be careful not to leave either one on too long (especially the clay one). Wrapping towel around it should help.
