Heating Pad

Could the pain be from a muscle? Is it a deep pain or more shallow? When I have aches around the back and ribs I go to bed with a heating pad. In the winter I use it quite often...it's soothing, and sometimes helps with the aches.

Plus, there is some thought about heat possibly killing cancer...yes, I know, it's a different type of application than a heating pad...but what could it hurt? Hope you get to feelling better.
