Hi Imahotep.
I certainly agree that ice aggravates RSD affected tissue and may even damage it, but I don't think it is involved in most instances of this disease. It is true that a lot of people do apply ice to reduce the swelling, but edema doesn't appear until some time after the injury that leads to this disease, so it doesn't seem likely that it is a causal factor.
It seems from suffering from this condition that it is a result of infection. Of course this is hardly scientific and evidence still is weak. I haven't yet explained it in any detail, but the first post in my upcoming series will show that the signs of IRI are identical to those of an infection, because the immune response to trauma is exactly the same as its response to infection or other pathogens.
I wrote about this in posts at BrainTalk, but I wrote in more detail than necessary and no one could wade through my words; I hope my next attempt will make it easier on the reader...Vic
