Causes pain
The flow of blood slows and cools as it nears cold
Calcium comes out of solution
Depositing on the cold bone
Tiny razor-sharp shards
That cut and abrade surrounding muscle and ligament
With any movement of the joint
Ice is not your friend
Ice traps the cold at the site of injury
Ice is for dead people, not those alive
Be wary of ice and cold floors or chairs
