Can Person With Pacemaker Use Infrared Mattress For Back Pain?
My 88 year old, with chronic Arthritic back pain and has a pacemaker (which has never turned on on the 20 years she had this inserted, can she used a mattress with the infrared technology? It would be set at a 0 setting, which emits very little infrared heat.
