See your health care provider as soon as possible (Rheumatologist).
That depends on the symptoms. Cold reduces inflammation and swelling and relieves pain better than heat (though alternating between cold and heat provides greater relief for some people). But cold may increase joint stiffness. Heat relaxes muscles and tendons and promotes circulation, so it’s the best choice for boosting the mobility of stiff joints. Finally, heat and cold can each help tame muscle spasms.
Whichever approach you choose, follow these precautions:
Apply heat or cold for only 15 to 20 minutes at a time, letting the skin return to normal temperature before reapplying.
Place a cloth or towel between your skin and the heating or cooling device.
Stop immediately if your skin blisters or turns either dark red or spotty red and white.
Don’t use heat or cold on damage skin. And don’t use them at all if you suffer from poor circulation, nerve damage, or a condition that may cause eith of those problems, such as diabetes, Raynaud’s disease, or vasculitis. And good luck.
