A not of caution with hot water bottles. The skin's heat sensors quickly fatigue. Wham you contact something hot, the sensitivity of the pain receptors quickly diminishes.
This is especially true with older people, people who are ill, people how have been taking drugs, including alcohol. It is quite possible to cook the skin without pain. The alternating hot/cold really does help, and is excellent with sprains. Treatment of sprains with cold water immediately will often reduce the pain and discomfort more than drugs.

Dr Richard Schulze, extreme herbalist and healer, (as well as those involved in sports medicine) advocate using hydrotherapy to speed healing. In your case it would mean repeated applications of, say, an ice pack alternating with a hot water bottle to the affected area. This would cause a marked increase in circulation in the area and the increased blood flow would remove toxins and bring in those things needed for healing. One should try for 5 to 10 cycles of cold and hot. Leave each temp on for 30 seconds to 2 minutes for example, use some judgement. If the hot water bottle is too hot to start, just put a piece of cloth in between until the circulation starts up.
