Hello, yes I am new...2nd post..but we all gotta start somewhere...Ok Ok

So I went to the hill country and my band seized up on me.

Yes I was in my happy place. Yes I am pissed off.

Ok so Ive been on liquids for 2 days..warm tea, broth, room temp Water...we all know the drill.

I refuse to go get some Fluid removed NO NO NO....

Any pointers Bandsters ? Advice pleaseeeeeeeeee.

p.s. I know there is a topic about this, however I didnt find thru the first few pages...my bad.

No it didnt freeze from cold foods..which was never a issue. Again this wasnt a food issue.

I was in the hill country for memorial weekend and before I went all was great and I go a lil higher

and it tightened up..sorry didnt mean for you guys to get all techinical.

We own the property and its never done this..just something new for me.

Have a great Saturday.

Had surgery in Texas. Moved to Denver. Texas doc took out a very small amount of fluid because of new altitude. So post about atmosphere is correct. Same applies when you fly. I do international rescues and am pretty limited when I eat on the plane. It is at about 8000ft pressurized in the cabin. And on the issue of cold vs heat for swelling. Both are correct. You should ice an injury for 24-48 hours in 20 min intervals. Then you use heat after that time. The cold vasoconstricts and limts or reduces the initial swelling and the heat vasodilates the area to promote healing and "clean out" the initial swelling. This mainly applies though to things like ankles etc. Ice can help with sore throats etc to help with swelling related issues. Plus it is a good way to get fluids. But as far as the band the amount of tissue it would need to affect to reach the band itself is impossible. Your stomach way is actually very thick. Hope that helps.
