Magic Gel Ice Pack for Back Pain Relief | 2 Pack Reusable Lower Back Wrap for Hot or Cold Therapy | Relief for Lower Lumbar, Sciatic Nerve, Herniated or Degenerative Disc, Coccyx, Tailbone Pain

Maybe TMI, but then again, you just might learn something…
I bought my first Magic Gel belt Feb 2023. I just bought another one (Sept 2024) so the belt & ice packs work for a long time. I fully expect this one will last another year & a half. I use this belt on my hips & lower back all day, every day. It’s very adjustable. I like that I can wear it more on one hip or the other, on my lower back & even higher up on my back…wherever I’m hurting the most at the time. I also like that this belt is quick & easy to take on & off.While I’m wearing one ice pack, the other is in the freezer. I usually wear leggings & a t-shirt so I hang a folded dish towel on the inside of the belt to temper the cold then pull it out as the pack gets more comfy. When it loses its cool, I switch & the other pack is ready to roll. On average, I switch these 2 ice packs 3 to 4 times a day (using each pack 2x). It totally helps to keep the pain meds to a minimum.When I leave the house I’m wearing one ice pack so I put the extra one in a small cooler between some similar-sized generic ones so I can switch them out all day long while I’m on the go. It is important to point out that I don’t wear this belt at night. That’s just not a good idea but PM is when I use the hands-down best roll-on that has msm (absorbs the med & smell into the muscle in <30 seconds) & glucosamine that absolutely DOES Stopain (that's not a typo)..SKIP THIS PART IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW WELL THIS BELT WORKS ON SEVERE PAIN. So I have severe sciatic entrapment in BOTH hips. I was born with it. It's inoperable. The sciatic nerve is webbed with the piriformis & gluteus medius muscles. All 3 are pulling in different directions. The forces were torquing up my spine. Nobody believed me until I needed a lumbar fusion because the deformity was literally twisting my L5 & L4 vertebrae around. The fusion fixed my lower back but locked the forces down in my hips causing agony there. That gave me an answer right there so I found an awesome hip doc who found the problem & has had to surgically tack my left gluteus medius back onto my hip because it was tearing away from the bone (which feels like a red-hot knife stabbing you). Believe it or not, the fusion was way easier to get over than the hip surgery.TMI? Too bad because for no darn reason, I had an L1 fracture a year ago & I don't even have osteoporosis. That caused L2 & L3 bulging discs & significantly narrowed foramen (holes) where the sciatic nerve exits the spine that are now severely pinching the nerve. So now I have severe sciatic pain from pulling AND pinching...yeah, me! I'm scheduled for a fusion on a fusion where all of that extra pain-causing stuff will be repaired & stabilized later this month by the same great fusion doc as before. I'm counting down the days until I ONLY have the hip pain that I was born with, LOL.Now it makes perfect sense why I could NOT do splits to try out for cheerleading in high school. Why it got too painful to ride my horse. Why I couldn't ride behind my hubby on a motorcycle so I got my own. Squatting pain & not being able to lean forward to ease the pain is a big clue that you have some kind of piriformis issue. Aqua therapy wasn't helpful because all I wanted to do was bend forward in 4 feet of water, blub-blub. Many years, quacks & expensive tests later, my hip doc found this deformity on, are you ready? An X-RAY! Where's an eye-rolling emoji when you need one?Told you that you might learn something. If not you, maybe this info will help someone you know. I hope this gem of a belt helps you as much as it helps me!

FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!
Wow, this really works great on relieving the pain and stays on well. Watch videos as it sold me on buying this product as it helped on showing how to wear it for different areas of pain on my body.

Rides up to the waist when moving around with it on.
The picture shows that this goes around the lower back. I could not get it to stay around my lower back. It kept riding up to my waist. I finally just un-Velcro’s it and put it where I wanted it when I was sitting only.Every time I got up to go do something, though. I had to leave it in my chair. If I left it Velcro closed around my lower back, as I was walking around, it just rode up to my waist. Reurned

Excellent produit. Pratique et résistant

I’d like to give it 3.5 stars, as it’s good, but not a solid 4 from my view.I like the idea that I could wear a heated gel pack, rather than trying to sit awkwardly on a loose on. Initially I was very impressed. That was until one of the gel packs started to leak after only two uses. Fine, I can live with one, as I’d only use this for heat, and dont need a spare in the freezer.What could have also made this better would have been that the inner lining between you and the gel pack, were a bit thicker or solid. It’s just a mesh, and if you use this when not wearing a shirt (or hiked up shorts), it’s not comfortable against your skin.The gel packs also dont seem to retain heat very long. I have some cheap gel packs that stay warmer far longer.Very nice idea, executed fairly OK, but for the money, I think perhaps not work it.Might be best for those who want to gel pack while walking around. But if your sitting, regular gel packs seem to be just as effective.
