another thought. don't know if you have heating pads to help ease the muscles but a fun project that I have done is make rice bags. you can use beans or peas too. anything that holds heat well and wont rot. you just make a simple bag. PM me if you want help making one. there are probably others that can help with this too. I have two. use dot have three but after my dd was born left the small one at the hospital by accident. made some for my grandma and my parents too. you can even make them scented too. hope this helps. Sitting here typing with mine across my neck and shoulders. it helps.
