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  

• Used to numb pain or after exercising
• Make homemade ice packs
• Cool temperature numbing creams

Heat

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

• Heat pads
