You are such a love. Never heard of the socks, but I’ll definitely look for them now. Many thanks for such good advice.
No sugar I just made my own “woobie.” My dad made his own years ago for his arthritic knees.
I use a new, unused tube sock, filled with rice with a knot tied at the end. I microwave it a few seconds at a time to get the heat right.
I remember my grandpa warming up bricks in the fire and wrapping them in flannel to warm their feet when they got in the bed.
We southerners are weird but lovable.

I have made a lot of those rice socks. Very handy for any area that hurts—like wrists, elbows, neck. We also have some small pillows filled with beans or corn that my mother in-law made us.
I just read that flax seed is even better than rice, because it lasts longer (oil instead of water). So I made a flax seed sock to try the other day. I honestly can’t tell much difference.
The maternity ward nurses are the ones that told us about making rice socks—really nice for the cool labor rooms.
