Thank you so so much!!! I was out of it after surgery and due to the COVID19, no one was with me to pay attention. Your video is a life saver!!!

[@paulscofield5444]

Thanks, Dr. Steinke. With a surgical boot on it was good to hear of the second option of icing behind the knee. Much appreciated, sir.

I had surgery 2 days ago on my ankle and this helped me so much, Thank you !!!!

I have a short leg cast for a broken ankle. Been trying to ice it, but no luck. This video is a life saver.

Thank you! I just had a bunion and bunionett removed.( yes there is such a thing as a bunionett, NOT at all as cute as it sounds!!) I was wondering how the coldness would ever get to the foot, I have it placed better now! Thank you!!!

[@joyceprendergast9270]

Thank you for the tips . I’m having Alex rigidus surgery Friday morning. 🙏

[@akeylawhite9217]

Fractured right fifth metatarsal that required a plate and six screws. Surgeon mentioned this icing behind the leg, and found your example, thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. I have been out of Achilles tendon surgery for a few hours and was wondering how to ice it through the splint and bandage. I didn’t know about behind the knee. Such valuable information.

I do tracks and hand an injury and my coach told me to ice it thank you

[@sealeymusicpianostudio97070]

Just had foot surgery and having a lot of trouble icing. Thanks for answering both how and why we ice this way. Sidenote: So no one is going to mention how much of a cutie pututie, Dr. Stienke is. 😍

[@shortsweetness876]

He definitely is 😝

[@lizbogovich3822]

Great info! I had been doing it wrong 18 years ago by putting three ice bags on my case. Now that I had the screws removed, I’ll be able to do it correctly.

[@EmiliaManda]

Very informative, thank you so much

[@patriciamidgley3566]

Highly recommended 👍

I have screws in my leg for about 2-3 years now and just yesterday I was playing basketball where I landed wrong and it hurt to the point where I can’t bend my leg fully I don’t have what to do

[@darthcvntmvncher]

I just had hindfoot surgery for removal of os trigonum last week. Can I ice on the incision?

[@lozicrazy]

Just had a 3rd and final super surgery on my foot and ankle. I’m just curious how does icing behind the knee help down there?..does the blood get cold or something?

[@jeromeistheguy]

I’m tryna ice my finger 8n a bowl but I think it’d too cold cus the tip of my finger hurts after like 10 seconds

[@earnestlawrence]

What kind of Ice pack was that?

[@Bognerman14]

I found it impossible to ice my achilles tendon after surgery because the boot is so thick and stiff. You'll never feel the ice. It will have no impact. Yet, they told me to ice. Lol, how?

[@Paxton344]
