NO HOT BATHS(or showers) .... use only lukewarm water.
NO HEATING PAD.... try ice for 20 minutes. Use this sparingly.
Heat will flare nerve pain. If cold makes it much worse, then seek out a RSD doctor. You may have RSD. RSD patients find heat to be relieving, and cold intolerable. But for everyone else, cold therapy works wonders. I use it all the time for my arthritis flares.
