If ice works then use it - as it calms inflammation and eases things the brief burst of cold could be worth it! I used to ice my knees, regularly, but as soon as I stood up and walked to the freezer to replace the peas all was lost. I gave it up in the end - there is only so much frustration one can take. Good luck with the shopping trip and no, don't buy too much. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

It's beautiful here - we are in Southwold at the moment, going home later - which is a huge shame. We have had a good week-end tho, it's been a lovely break. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0
