Hi - thx for this. Maybe icing it a lot will still help. Don’t know if I could ever do ice baths but interesting if cold shocks help!

My PMR is mostly in my upper arms. I had an operation on my back for spinal stenoses exactly one year ago on March 23rd. I am wondering now if some of my complaints are related to PMR?
I've started taking hot showers followed by cold water to end the shower. stop when it gets too cold. It does make me feel better. It's interesting to hear from someone else who does something similar.

Perhaps there's something to the Scandanavian practice of saunas followed by jumping into the snow.

Have a great day everyone!
