Review: Just what I needed! - With a nasty attack of bursitis to deal with, and no frozen peas available to use as an ice pack, I looked through the many options available online. Several reviewers of alternative products (including one from the same company) commented that wrapping the band securely around the elbow and pack was nearly impossible without someone to help. I was delighted when I came across this product, one of the key features of which is the loop to pass the strap through. This enables the user to pull back on the strap to bend the pack around the elbow, and tighten to the desired compression. This was the only product I saw with such a feature, and it makes strapping the pack in place so much easier. True, it was a bit fiddly to insert the frozen pack into the cover, especially as the surface frosts over when newly out of the freezer, but this may be due to the newness of the cover - it seems to be getting a bit easier each time (or I'm getting better at inserting it!). The margins of the gel pack are a decent width, and should withstand normal use. The pack itself is reasonably flexible when frozen according to the instructions included (it's stiff if frozen for more than 2 hours, but 5 minutes outside the freezer cures that), and certainly stays cold long enough for a normal session of treatment. I haven't tried heating it as I have alternatives for that side of treatment. All in all, it's everything I needed.
Review: Chronic elbow pain - Straight out of the box, and into the freezer. Cools in a couple of hours, and slides easily into the sleeve which is easy to wrap around my elbow. Not yet used it for putting heat into the joint. But certainly effective in applying cold, and reducing inflammation and soreness.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you make one to go round the bottom of the ankle and under the foot**
A: Elbow

**Q: Could I heat it up in other way, as ain't got a microwave?**
A: Is this a serious question! What did you have in mind ? 
In the event this is a serious question I would heat some water, take the pan off the direct heat and then put the pack into the water to transfer heat to it from the water.

**Q: How long in the microwave to warm up please**
A: I have only used it as an ice pack but the instructions for heating are 30 seconds in the microwave

**Q: Can i buy an extra gel pack to keep in the freezer? Or do i have to buy the whole thing again? This question relates to the elbow support.**
A: Well I bought 2 elbow ice packs but yes, you could just use ice packs ans slide them in. They’re pretty standard.
