Probably a 1st Tri Q - heating pad?

Sorry for the 1st Tri-ish question but is it ok to use a heating pad? I think I pulled a muscle in my lower back/butt and would like to put some low heat on it - nothing too hot.

    Yep, just fine! If you get to the point of sweating, stop using. Make sure to keep you overall body temp normal, drinking water will help. Hope it feels better soon!

    I use a heating pad on my lower back sometimes, on the lowest setting.  You just don't want to get your temp up too much, but I don't see how a little will hurt.

    Heat away!  I use one a lot and it really helps.

    My OB cleared using a heating pad, but warned me not to burn myself.  Yeah, because that's not common sense.  :)

    Heating pads are fine as long as you keep it on your back--don't let it get near the front or sides of your belly.
