You switch from ice to heat every 20 min. It makes it feel so much better and it relaxes your joints!!!

It sounds to me that you want a very good Specialist....you did not say if you had been to one....if not, get there in quick time and get proper treatment otherwise you will get worse. Also your Doctor which you do not mention....as you should not have to buy your own cures...you are only young and it would be tragic if you do not seek proper help.
