Guest guest Posted March 4, 2001 Report Share Posted March 4, 2001 Hi <br><br>Just in case you were beginning to feel ignored, I'll reply to your post! Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, but wouldn't your PT know? If I remember I'll ask my PT and let you know what he says. Maybe a search on the web might produce some leads?<br><br>PS - I find it incredible that you do karate with CP??!! Is this a good idea?!<br><br>Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2001 Report Share Posted March 4, 2001 Hello, ,<br><br>Have you tried medical supply places? Here in the US they have the disposable ice packs at most drugstores. I think Band-Aid might make them, but I'm not sure. I will try to get one and look at the manufacturer info. Maybe there is a phone number or something where you could order them? Or have you done any online searches? I'll keep thinking.....<br><br>Jeannine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 Hi ,<br><br>I asked my PT about this today and he suggested a company which he uses called " Physio Med " . Their phone no is 01457 860444 (in the UK). I don't know if they have what you want but it's worth a try.<br><br>Also if you search the web using<br><br><a href=http://www.altavista.com/ target=new>http://www.altavista.com/</a><br><br>and enter<br><br>+medical +supplies +uk<br><br>as the search string you might get some links, for example this site does some funny water gel dressings (they're meant for burns victims - might not be exactly what you want):<br><br><a href=http://www.999supplies.com/cg150001.htm target=new>http://www.999supplies.com/cg150001.htm</a><br><br>Incidentally, I stumbled over an article on the web which advises CAUTION when ice'ing. Do not exceed 30 mins under any circumstances because you can give yourself frost-bite. The skin dies and goes black next day. You can cause serious permanent damage this way apparently. I think 15 mins ice'ing is OK.<br><br>Good luck!<br>Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
