Hi Lotus,
My joints get hot also. My husband (funny man)kind of takes advantage of it though. He understands that they hurt, but when my hand is inflamed, he just wants me to lay my hand on his back. (just like a man, always wanting a back rub)
It's wierd though, some areas I just can't put ice on. I can put it on my heel, it really helps it. But there's no way I could put it on my SI joints. Take care, Wanda
