No opinion on how often ice can be used in the same area? Does anyone
know?

Google for RICE therapy:

I have but it seems to be somewhat controversial.

Then be your own guinea pig and do what works for you.

And go see a good Ortho'.
Preferably one that deals with sports medicine.

Cheers!

I have no opinion because it is a non-issue. Why would there be a limit on
how often you can (I assume you mean should) ice an area? Once every 5-7
days for, let's say, your entire life, would cause what harm?

If you're worried that the underlying problem isn't going away, and is
requiring weekly icing, my original advice returns: go see an appropriate
medical professional and get an accurate diagnosis.

I'm concerned of possible problems caused by over-doing it with the ice. It
definitely helped me so far as far as relief from discomfort. I didn't
really think about possibly causing problems from too much use of ice. I
assumed it was common practice to use ice on many athletes after the game
such as pitchers' arms, etc.

If I answer you, will you go the F away imbecile? Here goes: using ice
is masking the underlying problem. You maybe shaving off bone or
tendoin, the pain is trying to keep you from further damage, and
warning you to have it checked. But NOOOO a moron like you just keeps
putting ice on it to mask the underlying problem. It's like taking
aspirin for a broken leg, yes it'll help the pain, but you won't fix
the problem.
Now run home to mommy.
