I tried to use an ice machine after shoulder surgery. It became a lot of effort so I just used ice packs CONSTANTLY.

I had a different experience - staying cold all night, with a pump that cycled on-and-off, allowed me decent sleep from the second night forward, without having to change ice packs in the middle of the night. The first night I thought I could "do without" - 3 weeks after surgery - I got up in the middle of the night, threw the ice packs on the floor, and put the machine on.
Everyone is different.
