MCE...sounds more efficient than RICE! Just wanted to share an experience that has helped me in my physical health: I've developed chronic tendonitis in my wrist and elbows over the years from strenuous overuse; the go-to treatment was always to hit the fridge and grab an ice pack or frozen vegetables (peas were the best!). But after seeing a hand specialist in PT, she told me that cold generally doesn't do well on the wrists. Instead, I was asked to switch over to heat instead and try to increase ROM after heating up my wrist. A few months later with a ton of tenacity involved, I beat tendonitis and my wrists haven't been in pain since ! But I still do the RICE method of bruises...just not on chronic wrist injuries.
