I use a special heating pad that has a built in safety feature that turns the pad off in time before it can burn you. My favorite place to sit while using it on my back is in my recliner. I lean against it but it always turns off before it gets too hot although it does get nice and warm. I wait a little while and then turn it back on and usually, before it's time to go to bed the pain is down to a somewhat manageable level.

I hope you feel much better. Will your Dr. give you a script for Silvadine cream? It's a wonderful burn medicine that takes the burning sensation away almost immediately.
