I'm 5 days post op, and taking the occasional Tylenol for discomfort.
A couple of my insicions are are quite sore - is gentle icing a good idea, or a no-no? No one mentioned anything at the hospital.
Thanks!

My husband was encouraged to ice his if they felt tender. I don't see what it could hurt?

I have used ice packs and heating pad. I am almost 3 weeks post-op. My largest incision is still painful.
As long as you keep them dry, I don't see why it would be a problem.

they gave me ice packs to use during recovery.
Ice packs were my best friend for the first week post surgery!
