icing my knee

Icing my knee & facebooking (I have DSL again!) before I go to Dr's office. I love icing my knee, or rather, I love the lack of pain. In general, I don't feel the pain, per se (I get bilious when my painload has reached red alert stage, then it's too late), but I notice the relief from pain when I ice it. But I rarely remember to do it.

See,  I injured it at work, I tweaked it, and ignored it...I tried to work through the pain. It didn't work. Not an option, so things began to tear & stretch, beginning with the muscles, then the ligaments and tendons, resolving at the meniscus.Icing my knee
