A:
This is a question from one of my patients with lumbar disc herniation and sciatica. My answer is no. In a short time, the patient can feel comfortable and relaxed. However, heating in the local skin will cause its pores to open, once the external environment changes, such as cooling, humidity, etc., it can cause exterior wind, cold and dampness to enter the body, leading to more troubles and get the situation worse. Therefore, we do not recommend taking it with you for hours, especially in cold weather.
