Tips for Using Ice Therapy on Strains and Sprains
Using ice for acute soft tissue injuries is a standard first-line measure and it is even used in the rehabilitation of chronic injuries. Also called cryotherapy, immediate ice application after a strain or sprain can decrease swelling and pain, which hastens recovery and prevents further injury.
The acute phase of an injury is the first 24 to 48 hours. Ice application should be used in this phase of the healing process and then discontinued. Ice treatment is a common home remedy for bumps, muscle pain, and other minor injuries and many of us use a bag of crushed ice or even frozen peas for this purpose quite often. However, there is a right way and wrong way to use ice to treat soft tissue injuries.
Basic Guidelines for Ice Application
Use a bag of melting ice water wrapped in a towel. Ice alone is not cold enough and commercial ice packs are inconsistent, either being too cold or not cold enough. However, as part of a first aid kit for when ice is not available commercial cold packs should be considered a viable option. A bag of frozen peas, as mentioned above, can work in a pinch but ice water is more effective at reducing the temperature of the soft tissues.
The cold compresses used for sports injuries should not be confused with the commercial ice packs such as Rubbermaid's Blue Ice packs which are used for keeping foods cool in coolers. These are much too cold and should never be used on injuries as they could damage the skin and even result in nerve damage.
The goal of cryotherapy is to reduce the temperature in the muscle or joint and to sustain this reduced temperature during the initial recovery phase from an acute injury. The best time frame tends to be around ten minutes. Any longer than that and you risk damaging the skin and possible pain within the muscles, which counter productive as it causes the muscle to spasm. So icing too long at once will further injure the tissue. The target temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit or ten degrees Celsius.
Using short and repeated applications will allow the skin temperature to return to normal but the muscle temperature will remain low. Direct ice application is not good for sustained cooling of muscle since there will tend to be a reflex "heating" of the tissues. During competitive sports situations ice is the best for an immediate return to play.
Keep in mind, however, that reflex and coordination can be affected by the ice application. When you sprain an ankle and then ice it down your ankle is not going to be very usable. In these compression wrapping is also used to stabilize the joint.
If an immediate return to activity is not needed, as with training related injuries, then stop training immediately, rest, and apply ice for periods of ten minutes. In between wait for the skin temperature to return to normal, then repeat.
Other Cryotherapy Methods
Cold water immersion can be used for joint injuries in the first 24 hours and there is some evidence that immersion is a more effective way to reduce swelling in the joint than ice. It is a direct and concentrated way to cool the area. Immersion is only useful for injuries of the hand or foot, however. For ice therapy to be useful the cooling must be concentrated to the injured area. When injuries occur to other parts of the body immersion requires large area to be submerged and cooled rather than just the injured area.
Instead of ice packs, ice massage is sometimes recommended. The simplest way to use ice massage is to freeze water in a small paper cup and then rip off the top of the cup to expose the top layer of ice. Massage the inured area with circular motions for periods of ten minutes. This method is often said to be superior to ice water bags. However there is no reason to support this conclusion. Although massaging ice directly across the skin feels colder, the goal is not to freeze the skin but to reduce the temperature in the underlying soft tissues. Lowering the temperature of the skin too quickly will simply make it more difficult to sustain the ice application. The cold from ice massage tends not to penetrate as deeply or last as long
Regardless if one keeps the ice cup moving, ice massage is extremely uncomfortable and most people will not want to keep it up for ten minutes. Normally for ice therapy to be effective a buffer is used between the cold pack and the skin to sustain the treatment long enough to slowly cool the tissues without injuring the skin or causing pain. So plastic bags filled with ice water for all soft tissue injuries and cold water immersion for hand and foot injuries are the most effective means of cryotherapy.
Discontinue ice therapy after the first 48 hours. Prolonging the use of ice after this initial period may inhibit rather than hasten healing. Heat application, however, should still be avoided until at least 72 hours after the initial injury. Please note that these tips are for informational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice.

Gott Thermos - A Diamond In The Rough
I recently got a 2 quart Rubbermaid Gott Thermos for 4 dollars from a bargain bin and didn't realize how useful and precious it can be. First of all, when people hear the word thermos, they imagine one of those tall, thin, vacuum flasks used by industrial workers to store hot coffee. The Gott Thermos I bought is not like that. It's basically an insulated plastic jug cooler similar to the more recent Coleman coolers. But it serves the same purpose, it's vacuum sealed and insulated so anything stored in it will maintain its temperature for a much longer time.
Another thing is that Gott thermos brands are rare and extremely hard to find these days, resulting in a cult-like following among collectors, so I guess finding it being sold cheap on a thrift store makes me all sorts of lucky, despite its importance and rarity being lost on me. I basically just bought the Gott thermos because I know I could have some use for it, and partly because it brought back memories from my childhood. As my childhood was spent in a school where plastic jugs and coolers similar to it were used in abundance.
The Gott thermos I brought home had a white colored lid with spout and handle, matched with a blue body. It's ten inches tall and six and a half inches around in size and can hold 2 quarts of water with temperatures ranging from hot, cold, or lukewarm. I haven't tested its limits but it can keep the temperature consistently for 4 hours. I haven't tested it much longer than that.
Lately I've been using the thermos more and more and becoming increasingly dependent on it. I put iced water on it and lug it along to the gym during my weekly workouts, and even got weird stares from officemates when I started bringing it to the office filled with hot coffee. I admit that hot coffee looked out of place in what looks like a water jug meant for cold water, but it works perfectly well for coffee as well. I think the box and paper that came with it explicitly mentioned said fact.
I also took it to the park a few days ago, having filled it with hot soup. It was perfect for the cold morning, just sitting on a bench with a Gott thermos and a plastic spoon having my way with the soup. I admit I must have looked like a well-dressed hobo that time, but it felt good and relaxing. It's a little convenience that may have gone a long way towards feeling refreshed and active longer and easier throughout the day.
Right now the trusty Gott thermos is beside my PC, as I find that filling it with hot coffee meant that I could save some time going back and forth from the computer table to the kitchen just to fix myself a cup, and I can also take my time in drinking the coffee without worrying about it going cold on me. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but the 6 dollar thermos that nobody notices already became a large part of my daily life, and I hope that it's as durable and long lasting as its box claims.

Greaseman Shooting a Commode and Cooler With M1 Garand
I, Greaseman, get the bright idea of using my shiny new camera to video my M1 Garand in action! I find a half of a Commode, toilet, in the woods, carry it to my shooting area, and proceed to cut it in half with one shot.......it works, so I fill up a disabled, broken, cooler with water........I sat the Commode lid on top and ultimately miss the first shot on it.........somehow the shell ejection from that shot deflected off of my Skynyrd hat and poked me in the eye.....I was only momentarily stunned, then I finished it off with 6 more rounds, then I proceed to charge, like an idiot, with my Bayonet, right smack into the thing.......I slip in the mud and bust my rear, and get muddy......I finish off by rapidly firing 9 rounds from my H&R .22 Revolver.
