6 weeks March 12th, appointment went well,off PT. Doctors instruction booklet clearly state "NO ICE" whatsoever. I mentioned I wanted to try Ice, the medical asistant said NO, and he would not mention that to the doctor.....so
thats where I stand.
Any Nguyen patients out there?

I am going to go away from doc orders and I'm going to try Icing
