Another way to make an ice pack is to take several ice cubes and put them in a zip lock bag with a little water. Make sure not to put anything really cold directly on your skin. ThermaCare does not work like a regular heat pack. You could even use a small towel to moisten and heat - just something to be able to alternate heat and ice. That is the best way to calm inflammation down.
