My back and ankles are really aching these days and i used to use a cold pack before. Just want to be sure its not a problem now that im pregnant. Anyone used cold compress safely?
Yes a cold compress is totally fine, I used it on my swollen feet and for headaches. Just on the outside, nothing internal. It is one of the safer comfort tricks actually.
I leaned on cold packs a lot for puffy ankles and a sore back, worked nicely. It is a simple safe remedy. But if the swelling is sudden or with high BP, dont just cold pack it, get checked.
