So, long story short...

While jason sadler was icing my knee

jason sadler made the mistake of

putting the ice pack directly on my skin and leaving it on too long

My Advice to You is

unless you enjoy frostbite, pay attention

Here's the whole story

I recently injured my knee (torn ACL) and have been icing multiple times a day. I had a follow up doctor's appointment and wanted the swelling to be as little as possible. I put the ice pack directly on my knee, instead of inside the nice protective pouch it came with. When I took the ice pack off 30 minutes later there was a nice white patch of skin on my knee cap that was completely frozen.

After a few minutes the coloration went away, but I have some angry red color now and I know what frostbite feels like!
