Id agree with the pain later that day or the next if that was my daily regiment. Thats an example of the miracles of the medication. Normally it hurts to get out of bed or lift my feet off the floor.
Medical hot tub? I think when I was in high school I recall a stainless steel tub that was filled with ice the foot ball players would use. Ive often thought about filling the tall commercial garbage can with water and ice and take a dip off the porch into it on my hot sweaty days.
Ive tried a TENS unit. Ive wondered if a good charge from a stun gun of the effected area would do any good? Hard to find someone you trust to do that and doing it yourself is rather difficult.

Same with overdoing ANY physical activity I'm not in shape for. If I try to ski all day the first time it snows, I'll be crippled up for the next 2-3 days. If I ride the horse 10 miles or so the first time we're out in the spring, we'll both be crippled up, but after a few weeks of gradually increasing activity, that same ride is a pleasant afternoon out for both of us.
