Cold can help with surface discomfort but it cannot cool inflammation that sits several centimetres deep.
Heat usually works better for stiffness, soreness and arthritic symptoms.
If you do use ice, always protect your skin or you risk frostbite and rebound discomfort.
You can also alternate ice and heat depending on how your symptoms behave.
