Sounds soothing.  I've not seen the gel-filled ones, sounds like they'd 
be just the ticket.  Check, though, first, to see whether heat or cold 
or alternating would be good.  For instance, giving that many shots at 
one time sounds as if they are possibly trying to spread the substance 
around, in which case cold might work against that by slowing local 
circulation.  There are sometimes other reasons they want no heat, or no 
cold, or whatever.  I'm sure they'd go for one or another, just check 
and make sure what's most advantageous.
