My parents bought it for me prior to my first shoulder reconstruction..and I lived in it for the first week after my surgery to prevent swelling.  I use it now whenever I am having shoulder pain now and after a day or so of use I am feeling great again.

I think the ice plus the compression it provides is what really gets it done.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: shoulder ice pack suggestions</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/79877?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Dec 2007 16:31:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:43b8efb0-d3f7-44b3-a6ef-695a175000a0</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>i just read that dishwashing liquid in a baggie and put in the freezer for a while works very well...

It is an ice bag that slips in a stretchy wetsuit type material, then velcros on for a good fit.  I think it is made for volleyball players (strong enough for a man--swimmers, but made for a woman--volleyball players).

Get a bag of frozen veggies like peas or corn.  They work great and are re-useable.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
