Should I apply Ice or Heat?

My knee’s are always in pain, and always feel like they are swollen. It is 2am and I am about to cry because my one hurts so badly…. I need to sleep. Which would be best for it? Ice or heat?

Answer #1

Ice would work, and it puts me to sleep after a while! Good luck with your knees:)

Answer #2

moist heat , get a heating pad that has a foam insert wet it down and put it on for twenty minutes it takes the hurt out

Answer #3

Have you tried a warm Epson salts bath? Take some ibuprofen

Answer #4

Either one works. But when going to bed I rather use heat because when I ice before I go to bed. The ice pack ends up wetting my bed when I wake up.
