Can a person cause more nerve problems say by laying on gel packs for a bit to long. Seems to me my rectal problems are worse since I iced up with the gel packs by laying my butt on them a little longer than I should have. I hope it's just temporary....Robert

One of the CRPS/RSD websites strongly cautions against ice -- sorry, I can't remember which website it was. Personally I didn't have any problems with ice but there are some people who do.

I have a diagnosis of CRPS and use ice 24/7, it is the only way I can survive with this pain. The difference I believe is that I have major nerve damage so maybe that is why it helps me so much as its not the normal CRPS situation.
