General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

I believe you will be more benefited using warm applications than cold. In osteoarthritis, the muscles also are strained because of the lack of smooth, frictionless gliding surfaces. And i would suggest u keep a diary to note whenever u take a pain killer - if u have been taking too many pain killers for too long, may be it is time u considered replacement surgery for your knee!

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
