The good news is an optimized administration of heat can ease you. Such directed application of heat improves blood circulation, ultimately alleviating the pain.
Heating pads can get such a job done! These are cheap and easily available on e-commerce shops or drugstores around. But there is a more brilliant way to source heat pads at home: adapting your washcloth into a heating pad!
First, get your washcloth damp with water and place it in a freezer bag. Good job!
Now, let us keep this in the microwave for 40-45 seconds. After this, you can wrap it in a cloth and rest it gently on the pain sites. Now feel the relief gush in.
