Soak in the tub. I also have a hot tub & soak in it. I'm going thru a bad flare & it's been going on for about a week or longer. I honestly don't know how I get thru the day some days. I also put an ice pack on my back, neck or head sometimes.

Depending on the type of flare, sometimes I use a heating pad, lavender products or meditate. All help!

Hmmmm...didn't know about the heated mattress pads! Thanks!
