With this cold weather the upper half of my back is playing up. If I keep it warm it does much better so am constantly going round with far too many jumpers on (starting for feel claustrophobic) and a shawl / blanket round my shoulder which for a 30 something isnt the best look!
Cant help but wonder if there is something out there on the market that you can wear and shove a hot water bottle inside. Might only work for round the house but its an awkward spot to strap a hot water bottle to otherwise!
Any ideas?
