Thanks. That is where I read that ice should NOT be used in treating RSD. I really like Dr Hooshmand's articles, theories and all. He seems very knowledgable in dealing with RSD.
I was wondering if there was any site with a Dr who said TO use ice and who gives an explanation on why and how it would help.

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.
