The Importance of Using Ice Packs

Last night as I lay in bed some pain started to build in one hand.  Knowing arthritis as I do, I knew without fail, possibly slowly, but surely the pain would build and spread.  I had taken an anti-inflammatory drug too recently to take another at that moment so I decided to leave the warmth of my bed and get an ice-pack filled with gel from the freezer compartment.

I have a few of these ice-packs.  They are flexible and so mould themselves to the shape of my body and wrapped around the joint and tied with a velcro tab.  For my ankles it is much better if my wife does it.  She can really get a tight fit, which helps the cold temperature become really effective.  However right now I wanted the ice initially around my wrist.
