Ice or heat. Can getting in a hot tub for an acute flareup of lumbar nerve pain help or hurt? I've been using ice on and off 20 minutes at a time but I do have access to a hot tub if heat therapy wont make it worse.

Ice and heat are used for various injuries. It is best to see a medical provider to determine the best course of treatment.
