Dear MendMeShop,

I ordered this wrap after finding out I have a Calcium deposit in my shoulder which has turned to Tendinitis. The Freezie wrap is awesome and instantly takes the pain away. The only thing negative I can say is if you are right at a 40 size chest order the SM/LG (under 40'). I am in the process of exchanging sizes because I ordered the LG/XL (40'-48') and the wrap is bulky and very big. I am right on the cute off for 40' and went bigger when I first ordered and should have ordered the small.

Heal Your Toe!

Combine Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™
and ColdCure Technology®!

Toe dysfunction is due to the abnormal positioning of the joint bones in the foot. Often times this condition is present at birth but the majority of toe deformities result from your choice of footwear. When certain types of shoes are worn, high heels are the biggest culprit, the toes are compressed together into an abnormal position. If you frequently wear high heels or similar shoes what can happen is the toes remain locked in this abnormal position, which is made worse under the weight of your body when you walk.

MendMeShop products to help ease your pain naturally.

This is usually the cause for toe deformities including hammer toe and mallet toe, however, claw toe is different. Claw toe is the result of a muscle imbalance in most cases caused by rheumatoid arthritis, a stroke or a neuromuscular disease.If you have inflammation and deformation in your toes, it's very important to heal it quickly and completely. If you don't, it may plague you forever.

Generally, treatment of hammer, mallet and claw toe depends on the seriousness of the deformity but wearing more appropriate, comfortable and better fitting footwear is a good place to start. For those that have been suffering from a toe deformity only a short time the area may still be flexible and you may be able to massage and stretch your toe straight. If the area has become more rigid, this is a sign the toe joints are quite contracted and misaligned, and you may need to seek more intensive treatment.

If you have been suffering from hammer, mallet or claw toe for a while you will know that that deformity forces your toe to be bent. This can cause problems with the associated muscles and tendons.

ColdCure Technology® is a great option to decrease inflammation, pain, and soft tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve and connective tissue) damage experienced with toe deformities.

Dear MendMeShop,

The day after my first triathlon, I was in so much pain even I was surprised.

I lived in my cold compression wraps that day - every time I put a fresh one on (I have 2) it just felt so good. Even though I started out worse I recoverd that day much quicker than after any smaller event I'd ever finished.

It is a great tool to have around.

Our cold wrap are made of the soft plush fleece. Extremely versatile to provide cold therapy to where you need it. Cold wraps work because they interrupt and slow nerve and cell function in the damaged area. Once blood vessels are damaged they can no longer carry oxygenated blood to the damaged tissue and therefore cells begin to break-down. The wraps provide deep cold, slowing cell function thereby reducing cellular break-down. Furthermore, because the cold wraps serve to numb the nerves the wraps also reduce pain!

Dear MendMeShop,

In August of 2009, I suffered a severe meniscus tear in my left knee, pain level 9.5 out of 10. This occurred in my sleep while trying to untangle sheets that had wrapped around my ankles. I had awoken suddenly to severe pain that that only got worse as the injury began to swell under my kneecap. This injury rendered me unable to walk and getting out of bed took 5 - 10 minutes. I would prop myself up on crutches with a pillow in my mouth to bite down on and stifle my yelling as to not disturb the rest of my family, while I straightened my leg. I needed to do this every time before I could begin a trip to the bathroom; which at 49 years old is a 3am occurrence every night. I knew I was a candidate for arthroscopic surgery. I had major and minor surgies over the past two years and was not excited about another one. I started to research options online when I stumbled upon The MendMeShop. After reading the testimonies and weighing the cost, I decided to give the Knee Inferno and Knee Freezie a try! BOY! AM I GLAD THAT I DID!! Within a couple of weeks, I was able to get rid of the crutches and was 95% pain free in 8 weeks, completely healed and back on a treadmill two weeks after that. I have a friend at church who had the same injury, opted for surgery, and took 12 weeks to heal. Purchasing the wraps was by far the wisest medical treatment decision I have ever made for two reasons. Once you have surgery you are never the same,(with knee surgery you are almost guaranteed arthritis in the affected area within ten years or less), and the healing process was quicker without having to undergo invasive surgery. Thank you MendMeShop!! Fan For Life
