Thanks for the quick reply Mrs D, i understand that its difficult to get relief in the condition its in now, but sometimes when i have aggravated the joint it gets a lot worse than normal, so i was hoping when that happens the cold pack may help lower the inflammation down a bit, if it helps some under those circumstances, is it ok to use the cold pack a few times a day, like every 4 hours or whatever ?
I have been hanging onto a steriod script that the ortho' doc given me last November, and he said to use it if you really need it, but i am a bit concerned of having to much steriods in such a short time, he said it won't harm me but i am not to sure about that.
thankyou very much
