Cold packs are used to restrict blood flow and bring down swelling. Hot packs are used to increase blood flow to an area which speeds up healing.

My grandmother says hot is better, but I am not sure, I have never had any medication for leg pain.

Both. Take some advil too. Stretch them out also...this will help loosen them up.
