I know that many people cannot tolerate ice with RSD. But for me, I LOVE the ice. It is very soothing with the burning/ aching pain I have. However, when I found out that ice has a negative effect on RSD patients I have stopped using the ice and have been trying to research about it.


What about cold cold water (nothing below 55 degrees)? Does anyone know if that would have a negative effect? For me, cold soothes and feels so good, but heat I cannot tolerate.
My Dr mentioned contrast baths. Has that helped anyone?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the welcome! Cute doggy, Artist!

I have always used the ice after PT, as well.
