Wheatbag if you don't like hot water bottles. Use chamomile oil rather than Vicks as you want to reduce inflammation if you dampen the wheat bag and put the oil on that it will gently vaporise. Tapping along the sore bits with your fingertips for a few seconds when you remember seems to help as well.
Morning all. Feeling so much better today. The decongestants seem to be working. I am going to go to the chemist today to buy a wheat bag. That should help it along a bit.
