If you have no feeling in most of your legs don't use a heating pad .Was wondering why the back of my jeans were soaking wet , took off my jeans and back of my legs were A: bleeding and covered in huge blisters . #-o

Dang man. Be careful. Prayin for you to heal up good.
That doesn't sound good. I would be heading for medical attention, blisters, if there are a lot, can lead to infection real quick.

GO TO A DOCTOR!!! Burns can get infected very easy and cause problems.

Pad must have been pre underwriters lab qualifying.
New ones won't get hot enough to burn ya like that.

can feel the joints not skin , anther thing is that the section with the blisters is thin , all the skin in that area was ripped off , was open muscle and bone ,skin graft covers it now but it is MUCH thinner almost 1/4 inch dif in level between good and skin graft area
Why not just soak in a tub???
mightt be or skin is sensitive in that area ;never happened until the pad moved during the night
anyhow pad is now in garbage/recycling
PIA need to use a lift to get in tub , or I don't get out . Legs don;t work very well
REALLY ? Covered in polysporin and sterile bandages , should be good , if not I know the sighns f infection

Dang man, please see a doctor to make sure you do not get a nasty infection. I hope that you heal fast.
All I can add is that I have a co-worker, he's in a chair. He got a couple of bed sores on his backside, his doctor has him doing a lot of lying on his side to get them healed up. It's a serious condition, make sure you get it checked out and FULLY HEAL so you don't get an infection. Good luck!

You have my sympathy.
Thanks for the reminder, heating pads might seem harmless but they can really hurt you.

and I most definitely wont have a look at them
but considering where these blisters are, and how hard it will be to keep an eye on them, yeah, I would go see a doctor.
come to think of it, take a bus there so you don't need to sit on it the whole way there

Maybe you should smash an empty Vodka bottle over your head.
Ok, sorry about your limited mobility. That must be tough to deal with.... :banghead:
What about the "old people" tubs that have an opening door in the side for them to get in and out? I see them advertised on tv sometimes...
The one that I have can make it uncomfortable on high, I sometimes have to set it to medium because it starts to hurt.... :violent1:
Rather spend the money on going fast than smelling pretty . I have a lift , but for sore joints I ain't going through the ordeal to get in and out the tub , and it is an ordeal .
Ifn your name is Rockefeller you might be able to afford one.
