some of us do stand under a hot shower. I don't know if others alternate heat and cold.
I cannot tolerate any cold, but I find the hot water plus the steam generated in the room soothes my pain a lot.
If a shower is not available when you need it, you might get some help from running either hot or cold water over your wrists. Eventually the heat or cold will travel via circulating blood to your entire body. It takes a little longer, perhaps, but it feels good to me.It would be very easy to alternate the heat and cold if that is the best remedy for you.
Thanks for your suggestion. I hope it helps many.
