hard to tell if the nerves are all stimulated....by heat.
Heat only increases inflammatory responses. If that is the problem it will make the nerves worse. Heat is best for circulation issues, and then done very carefully for short periods.

Determining healing is better done at normal temps, I think.

I was told 15 minutes by a therapist if heat is used at all.

When using epsom salt soaks only lukewarm water should be used.
