I have never put my feet in ice water either. I use Biofreeze or Salonpas to cool off burning feelings.
I don't use hot water either... just warm. And rarely a heating pad, because my chiropractor explained how heat will inflame nerve signals (speed them up). So it is lukewarm water for me.
I do put an icepack of cold gel on my neck or back or knees when they flare up. But it is not like ice cubes, just cold for about 20minutes. This seems to quell inflammation for me.
