Red face cold packs..

quiet the nerves that send the pain signals. All the while I was having
PT cold was recommended. Just don't overdo more than 20 minutes.

Over the years recently cold has taken over for arthritis/pain relief.
The trick is not to overuse it.

My chiropractor in the past (I went for 4 sessions) for my knee, said heat
makes it worse, and overstims nerves, causing rebound pain.

But once you get bone on bone...that is very hard to deal with using any
therapy.

Groin pain IS hard to deal with. That is basically my injury area, including the femur/thigh.
