Try This.: If ice makes the pain worse or does not improve it then stop it. Try applying some moist heat. A moist dish towel folded and put into the micro wave will do just fine. Keep it slightly elevated. You might try advil (ibuprofen) or another NSAID. If no improvement you need to notify your surgeon.
