I have a bad stomach ache today, it feels like my whole abdominal wall is cramping. I remember my mom telling me never to put a heating pad on my stomach,and I was wondering if this is true or not? Why?
Thanks to everyone,
Shelly- Never heard this

This is a reply to # 438,484My physical therapist and chiropractor never mentioned this to me . I tell them all the time that I put a heat pad on my stomach. Interesting to know for sure. I'll ask them tomorrow.

This is a reply to # 438,484I've used a heating pad on my stomach when necessary (usually cramps) for 25 years and as far as I know nothing bad has ever happened. I'd hate to think of all the pain Iwould have endured if I hadn't used the heating pad.

MoreThis is a reply to # 438,497My mother, who was suffering from fibroids in her uterus for a couple of years (she just got a full histerectomy yesterday!!) was told by her doctor to use moist heat preferable to electric heating pads. So she has used lots of things you can heat up in the microwave, and hot water bottles.
Like Deborah said in the last message, I don't know how bad she would've been if it were not for heat to relax her tight muscles.

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 438,499I called my mom and asked her why she said that so long ago. She told me that is wasn't not to use one on the stomach, but not to sleep on one in case you get burned. Guess I should have asked my mom first!
