Suggest Remedies For Hand Pain And Cold Post An Injury
Brief Answer:
I would use what gives you comfort, but add Tylenol
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM: Please note that the anti-inflammatory response you would get from cold packs would have helped 12 days ago when you hurt yourself, at this point you are doing everything correctly. I would use whatever provides you relief.
I have patients who prefer cold over hot and vice versa. I would add Tylenol as this will provide actual pain relief that you are needing.
I hope this helps and thanks for your question.
