Perfect Remedy 2-Pack Gel Ice Packs for Injuries Reusable, Hot & Cold Pack That’s Durable, Soft & Flexible, Fast Relief & Recovery (Blue, Reg 2PK)ClimatePartner certified

Excellent ice pack to cool my new replaced knee joint after my Physical Therapy working it (bends, short walks, etc)I got several of these - they lay flat in freezer (dont take up much room), and they wrap around the knee to provide more consistent cooling (be sure to wrap it in something like a hand towel so its not laying directly on the skin). Then I use elastic athletic wrap to hold it in place (that stretchy brown wrap).Worked great, I was able to exercise knee with PT and with a walker, then ice it for half hour and pop back in freezer several times a day, and didnt need or use any pain pills (just slightly stronger Tylenol, and Aleve).After 3 days, I switched from using a walker to walking on my treadmill, so I could practice a proper stride and set a consistent pace and distance - a mile at 1.5 mph.After just 18 days, I was outside, walking a mile with no support, no crutch, no cane, just out walking pretty normal.If youre looking at knee replacement, how bad or good it is depends on how committed you are to doing the PT. Most important is the "heel slide", laying on back, slide your heel, bending the knee up as much as you can ten times, holding it at peek bend for 10 seconds. Then again, but this time with a strap around your foot to pull it, trying to relax the knee muscles so just the strap is pulling it up Try to get to where it hurts a little but is not really painful. Dont worry, the first day or 2 you might not be able to move it at all, but it soon gets better. Then keeping leg straight, raise the foot about 6 inches up, and hold for 5 seconds, working up to 10 seconds.The PT for going down stairs and getting out of cars is just stand holding back of a chair, and bend the knee / calf as far back as you can, lifting the foot as high as you can. Dont bend the hip, just the knee.The PT folks send me home after just half the sessions cuz I was already at desired goals (bend the knee 120+ degrees, and walking down stairs).Bottom line, if you just had a knee replaced, then you've got nowhere to be and nothing else to do, so might as well work on getting better, so do your PT, and dont forget to ice it. Do PT (heel slides etc), and WALK a lot. After reading all the stories about how long it takes to recover from knee replacement, I found one who was out walking after 6 weeks, so that was my goal. I was walking in 18 days. And still doing the PT bends for several more weeks cuz the knee is still healing, so dont let it heal just straight, keep working on max bend.Also used them when I had my hips replaced, which is relatively easy compared to knee. Basically do the PT, ice it, and walk around pretty normally with a cane for 5-6 weeks, then youre done.

These icepacks are durable and work really well. They freeze quickly and stay cold a good amount of time. Really simple and easy to use the sleeve is a nice accessory. Definitely worth the price.

Love these. Perfect for aches and pains. I use it on my back. Love that there's always a backup one in the freezer. Is holding up well and stays very cold for a long time. Nice size for larger areas.

They are very useful. They freeze quickly & are easy to clean.

Very useful. Good quality, is stays cool for a little bit of time but enough so it is not uncomfortable to use. Love the size too

I ordered these to replace the ones I accidentally left in my ice chest and got ruined. I use these to ice my arm or leg and I also will occasionally use them in my small ice chest. These are good quality ice packs. They are similar to the clay ice packs. Very pliable. They are very good size, not to big and not too small. It stays cold for a while. And the color is really fun too. I'm happy with this purchase.

Bought this to help relieve my elbow tendinitis. Such a comfortable ice sleeve. Soft and flexible. It has straps to secure it in place, but they don’t really work well. They slide right off of the material on the sleeve. The sleeve stays in place pretty well for me without the straps. I do wish the ice sleeve stayed cold for a little longer. Overall, I’m definitely thinking of buying a second one. Great value and very easy to use!

They last a really long time out of the freezer and even though my freezer temperature makes them too cold to be very malleable, theyre still easy to form around whatever body part or item needs the ice. I do wish they were a little bit bigger, but theyre still a good size and work well to relieve pain.
