Hot and Cold For Pain Help

There are times that I forget (or deny) that I have Fibro and do stupid things.
     For example: Going in a cold air-conditioned room without a sweater, seeing a  movie in the park on a late summer/early Fall night and moving large pieces of furniture by myself.
To remedy my goofups, I use heat or ice for pain. sometimes I do both  (ie: icy hot). I will explain when I use each to help somebody else.

Cold  
Heat
  • Used more than cold
  • For stiffness, muscle spasms,
  • In cold environments
  • Homemade heat wrap
  • Topical creams and ointments
  • Electric blankets
  • Heat pads
