I say cold only because that's what the doctor told me. I had some serious muscle strains, etc. in the weight training and I was told NOT to use the heating pad. Ice, ice baby. This was not a problem specific advice, but for any strain, sprain, spasm or ache. Ice it. Sort of like the heating pad thing was a old wives tale that was not good medicine.
