The only place ice felt good to me was on my forearms.
My shoulders , neck, chest, back all do better with warmth.

can you do light lymph massage strokes?
[very light touch stoking toward the core of the body}

could be clogged lymph nodes - they get warm and puffy feeling.

Ice would inhibit the natural drainage, I think , if it is lymph related.

Let's see... Does an anti-inflammatory make it better or not? If it does, ice it. If it doesn't, don't.
