I see some use hot packs, some use Ice packs..which ones to use to reduce post op muscle pain(femur)? I am currently on day 6.
I'd want to limit using painkillers so frequently.

I use hot packs when muscle or skin feel stiff and cold when I have inflammation pain after for example some knee bending excercices
