I do appreciate you guys telling me that.. I didn't know that. But really, heat is the only thing that gives me relief. Ice on my back makes it 10 times worse--I can't use that. It is incredibly painful and then it causes my feet to get frozen and then my feet hurt worse... it's not worth it.
As I said, I can't use the heat right now anyway because of the fentanyl patch. I don't know how long I will be on these patches... but as long as I am, I'm not allowed to use the heat anyway. It makes my back much better though.
That's why I tried the TENS unit, but that just irritated my feet. All I want is some relief from all this pain!
