For some time now I suffer from back pain. Hard ache in the lower intervertebral discs. Nothing can make the pain go away besides back muscle training (which I don’t do) and the amazing Thermacare heat belts. The belts constantly and very slowly release heat that causes pleasant relaxation. Sometimes, when in this pain again, I move like my favourite actor Helmut Fischer. He suffered from the same thing. It is this quite unique Helmut-Fischer-stiffness; at the same time I wear the awesome thermal belt, like today at the airport. The expression of the woman’s face at the security check was also unique: she was convinced that it would be a suicide belt. She even tried to pull it off my hips. Her disappointment was amazing when finding out that it was just granny’s (me) Thermacare heat device.
