Technically, ice could cause significant worsening of symptomatology, according to some literature, due to sympathetic dysregulation and vasomotor changes. Personally, my PT used ice on my shoulder (surgery "gone wild" caused the CRPS) for 1 year without issue, providing mild but only very temporary post-PT pain attenuation without apparent ill effect.
I have not used ice in awhile but the way my arm hurts with a cool breeze, I am not sure I could tolerate it at all now! Hurts to hold a can/bottle of soda at his point.
