Could I put a freezer cold pack on my shin &amp; wrap this around my shin.

You would need to have a fabric protection between your shin & the cold pack to prevent frostbite.

I don't see why not if you're using glass jars. However, if you really want to preserve the nutrition freezing is the best way.

I have just used it for wrapping cold to put in the freezer. I would be somewhat cautious, since it has a waxy substance for waterproofing.

You could put it under a sheet. I'm not sure a towel would work. I don't know about freezing.

Wish I could tell you, only have done cold items. Would imagine it would work though

No, just keep it at room temperature unless you want cold therapy. If cold therapy needed, then place in freezer.

Actually the previous answers are incorrect. At least on my large knee wrap one side is velcro and the ice packs are replaceable. Too bad they aren't gel, but simply water in a quilted plastic liner. The are like little ice cubes that can feel hard.

This wrist wrap is not meant to be worn while doing any activity that you would be using the muscles in your wrist and hand if you are using it as a cold wrap. The cold wrap helps with inflammation from over use and stress to the muscles, by using these muscles while you are wearing this wrap could actually over stress the muscle and injure yourself. When you use these muscles your pumping blood to them while the wrist wrap is trying to take blood away from that area to decompress and take away inflammation. For best results use the wrist wrap while not doing anything to engage those muscles, I recommend using the wrap after a work day or after doing an activity that inflames that area. I don't recommend using the wrap hot or cold while doing an activity to engage those muscles, it will be most effective while using it after an actively that engages those muscles.

Would be difficult. But it's not difficult to just loosen the velcro (under arm small strap and main across chest strap), slide the wrap around and replace the ice packs. I find that 2 packs gives me a good 20 min of icing, don't really need much more than that. I sometimes add an extra pack inside the pouches, which can extend it even more.

Definitely but it won't last as long as an ice pack nor can you mold it to cover the area you need icing. My doctor uses it after a treatment to help speed the healing.

The inserts are built into the shoulder wrap itself. Yes you keep it in the freezer and take it out when you're ready to use it. It stays cold for quite some time!! By the way: I highly recommend placing a towel between the wrap and your shoulder. I wear a long sleeve under-amour shirt myself to cover my shoulder and elbow

If you've been told by your doctor that cold therapy is good, then yes, this could be used for that. I read in Wikipedia (since I didn't know what Baker's cysts are) that says heat is also used. But the Knee Wrap is good for cold therapy.

It should fit OK. There might be a small gap where the cool wrap will not cover part of your knee but the velcro straps should hold it in place. As I wrote in my review I think the design of the wrap is excellent. It's comfortable and I can walk around with it remaining in place. The only issue I have with it and to me it's a very big issue is that the wrap is not cold enough for my liking. It's just 'cool' even out of the freezer and it does not maintain the cool temperature for very long. If they just kept the same physical design and somehow allowed the wrap to reach colder temperatures (and hold those temperatures) then they would have an outstanding product It should fit OK.

Only if you wear very baggy clothes. I've worn this with just a polo shirt between it and my skin and it worked fine--it wasn't cold enough to cause ice burns.

It stays cold for quite a while. I personally freeze it. Unless you're not wearing a lot of layers I'm not sure you'd be able to feel as much relief from the pack with just refrigeration. I will say you need to be careful about leaving it on too long- I once fell asleep with it on and woke up with minor frost bite on part of my leg that was directly exposed to the pack.

No you can't. The way the bag is set up is those ice packs are sewn inside the bag all over from top to bottom and side to side. You just put it in the freezer overnight and it lasts all day unless it's 90 degrees or hotter than it doesn't last as long. But if I know it will be that hot I usually freeze my water or drinks then it does keep cold. It's great for student lunches!

Yes leave it in the freezer when you are not using. When the liquid inside the pack becomes solid, then pack it in the box.
