Ice seems to be more therapeutic than the heating pad. We have a foofy anti fatigue mat at the sink so dishes are not a problem (plus being short I need not stoop at the sink)
Today is a better pain, painwise.
Sorry to hear that your son has the same issues.
Core and lower back exercises are key and I think that many of us overlook them (I know that I can sometimes skip them, to my obvious detriment).
I've told my son to dose himself with Ibuprofen. I could be wrong, but me and a doctor friend who's my age eat it like candy to fight inflammation. My son is worried about his liver, but he's young enough to handle it. I take it at bedtime, and get up feeling a whole lot better.
