If the pain is being felt in the lower back, then it indicates muscular complications. In contrast, if it travels toward the upper or lower body through the nervous system, such as causing abnormal, painful sensations in your legs, the associated complexity could be in the spine.

What is better for knee pain, heat or cold?

H
HexaHealth TeamExpert

 Although both heat and cold are beneficial to ease knee pain, sometimes, one is preferred over the other. 

  1. An ice pack can help decrease blood flow, relieving pain and inflammation. It is most effective when used for the first 24 hours after the beginning of knee pain. 
  2. If there is no swelling, you can use a heating pad the first time you experience knee pain. Using heat helps increase blood flow. It loosens tight muscles and joints, relieving muscle spasms and pain.
