Opinions?

I never thought much of ice as a palliative treatment for injury. Frankly, I prefer heat. However, when I had a knee replacement a year ago, I found that ice wraps after rehab exercises were soothing. Was that my imagination?

I have some trouble with sore feet and a soothing treatment is to freeze a plastic bottle of water, and wearing socks, roll the frozen bottle back and forth under my feet. Works great. Hint: pour a little of the water out before freezing to allow for expansion of the ice.

I think Kevin Everett formerly of the Buffalo Bills would disagree. they lowered his body temp to reduce swelling following a catastrophic injury to his spine. He walks today because of it!
