Is ice bad for cramps?

I have always heard of heat being used for cramps. Does that mean that ice is bad for cramps?

RE: Is ice bad for cramps?

Ice may work as well as heat to soothe cramps. However, most ladies don't want to put something that cold onto their tummy. In therapy, if someone has a sore muscle, ice and heat will both work to relax the area of the body. There are precautions with each type of treatment, such as Raynaud's syndrome reacts badly to the cold and cancer can respond negatively to the heat.
