The osteoarthritis in my fingers (8 of them) are really hurting. I do hot compress and it helps some. I cannot do cold compress, when I touch any cold object, even a slight contact with cold water, it gives very unpleasant sensations in my legs. Even a slight contact between 1 finger and cold water, the unpleasant sensations will IMMEDIATELY go down to my legs. The closest description is like having goose bumps only mine is painful and only in my legs. Its odd that only my legs feel the cold temp.

Mary, I have similar reactions, strange as it is. Mixing meatballs, or touching anything cold is excruciating, and I have to keep running my hands under warm water while doing it.
Mrs. D., I did find that applying cold to my back during a recent bout of sciatica as you often recommend really helped. I am so glad that you are feeling better.
