Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hello. I am the one with RA however, my husband had knee surgery and the physical therapist taught us this cold pack trick. Take a gallon sized zip lock baggie and put half rubbing alcohol and half (or a little more) of plain water. Seal very well. Put this baggie inside another one and seal very well. Freeze. Made the best ice packs that stayed very cold but could be easily formed around his knee. I had three so I could alwaygs switch out. Of course I wrapped in a kitchen towel. This is a trick I have passed on to other folks and they love it. Hope your 83 yr old mom gets some relief. Bless her. Dale Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
