Or perhaps, very cold gadget. It is the Donjoy Iceman. Picture a beer cooler with a pump that circulates ice water through something that wraps around your shoulder, wrist, arm, leg, whatever is inflamed. Unlike a conventional ice pack, it will continue to cool the body parts for hours on end, until the ice in the cooler finally melts.
Also, unlike an ice pack, because it is circulating water, there is no danger of freezing your skin -- the thermometer shows you the temperature, and it never gets to freezing.
My wife uses it for her shoulder after the surgery, but ice packs have become a regular part of my life because I have a hard time just working an eight hour day, and typing causes tendonitis. This is a very neat gadget, and even though it is technically a medical device, the price isn't particularly unreasonable.
