Yes Amazon has a wonderful selection of ice packs for whatever part of your body you need to ice. They even have a wrap around for migraines or nerve pain, my problem, for the neck, ice packs for the back, arm, leg, foot, they all fasten with Velcro I have quite the collection. These have become my BFF. So handy if I need one I just have to go to the freezer, something to think about people

Ice, initially. Castor oil after that. It really does take away a lot of the inflammation and it lasts longer than any oral med will do.

After ice treatment, my Grandmother always served a cup of Amora e ledovi proshki --- HOT tea with a tablespoon of honey and a shot ( or two depending on severity of pain and size and age of patient) of good whiskey in it. Worked great every time.

Good Lord, why do we have to wait so long to see a Dr. most of us only call when we REALLY need to. Then the wait is agonizing. Hope you feel so good by Thursday you can cancel
