For me, ice really helps.
Walking in a cool pool just waist down wet, is amazing ... better than ice. I come out w/straight posture, not all twisted with odd pelvic tucking forward and back slouching from pain.
Yesterday, it was drizzling, but I put on a knit hat, my bathing suit, with long sleeve shirt and sweatshirt over it... and drank hot tea...
I hate being cold, but it was totally do-able without freezing.... all the contrasting heat made the cold not even that bad. Granted, I live in California and it was probably only in the low 70's high 60's....
But recommending this to anyone.
cold pool walk = better than ice
