For a heat pack, they make "water bottle" style packs of course, and I like the ones that have some type of solid material that you heat up in the microwave.
Remember you CAN burn yourself, even if the pack feels comfortable -- putting it against your skin and leaving it MIGHT generate enough cooking time to give you an irritating (or worse) burn.
And really, don't overlook the value of Epsom Salt to soak in the tub....
It's like a vacation for my sore, aching arthritic knees. The effect lasts from a couple of hours to a couple of days even.
