Alleykat asked:
I am a nursing student and want to help a patient (w/out giving meds) that has pain weeks after a knee replacement. Cold packs dont help her anymore (cant tolerate cold anymore). She said she tried hot packs, but that didnt help. She is currently receiving therapy. Does anyone have other suggestions? Thanks!!
