Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm at an age where things start wearing down: joints, cartilage, etc. I used to be really active (dancing professionally, equestrian sports, etc.), and it has definitely taken its toll 40 years later. I've developed osteoarthritis and the most recent victim is my left hip. I'm trying to delay hip replacement surgery as long as possible, so I'm using exercise as well as cold therapy, and that's where this FlexiKold Gel pack comes in. I'm working with a physical therapist, and this was one of the brands she recommended. I have the "standard" size (10.5" x 14.5"), and it's the perfect size for my needs. It freezes quickly, is flexible, and stays cold longer than any of the other cold packs I've tried. It definitely helps with the inflammation and pain that comes from this condition. I just ordered a second one in the same size so that I'll have one in the freezer ready to go at all times. For the price, I couldn't ask for a better solution. And I may invest in the half-size one for my shoulder (same condition, similar issues ... ). Very satisfied with this purcahse.
