Seems people with a HOT version respond bad to anything warm or HOT. Let me know if I'M on target with this.

I have the heat kind, and have found that cold is what sets me off, not heat. Using a hot shower spray seems to help, although at the time the water makes it hurt from the pressure, later it feels pretty good. Beware using cold, I have read and had personal experience that using cold or ice can really really be a horrid idea. I had an ice pack used twice on my knee before being dx'd and the pain then and later was unreal, and seems to have made it worse permanently. Be careful with the cold.
