Moist heat: This is good for when you are feeling stiff. A warm towel, hot bath, heat pack, or hot shower applied 15-20 minutes up to three times a day can relieve some symptoms and improve flexibility.
Cold: This works for inflammation. Wrap a bag of ice or even a bag of frozen vegetables in a towel. This can reduce the swelling of inflamed joints. Don’t leave the ice on your body for more than 15 minutes of every hour. Don’t use this method if you have Raynaud’s phenomenon.
Again, these tricks are useful for minor aches and pains. They are not meant to take the place of a doctor’s care. If you are in pain for more than an hour, go see your doctor.
