I finally made a bunch of bags of ice cold peas for my shoulders and my knees and it feels great.
I really love the cold on my sore joints as it helps to heal them very fast by constricting the blood vessels.
I then dilate them when I put heat on the cold joints immediately after removing the cold peas. This cycle of cold and hot speeds up the healing process to where I can play almost five days a week. I am going to cut back to three days a week soon to rest my body. The local business where I buy them probably wonders why I go through so many peas each week but I also eat a lot of peas as they are high in protein. I like staying strong for sports and work as I have to carry some heavy HVAC equipment sometimes. I’ve had to haul a portable window air conditioner up eight flights of stairs because the place didn’t have an elevator. Can you imagine living on the 8th floor of a building without an elevator; “Honey, did you remember to get the milk?” I installed the portable climate control system in one fail swoop so I didn’t have to come back up those eight flights of stairs again. My knees didn’t like that climb up all of those stairs with that heavy HVAC equipment in my arms. I am still icing my knees from the pain of that job. They may want a smart thermostat put in their place. I’ll just let someone else do that job!
