I know what you mean about ice, Rebecca! But, it does work for some gout sufferers. Because gout pain management is very personal when you account for different reactions to, and different tolerances of, pain.
To those gout sufferers who prefer ice, I recommend applying a warm compress after the ice. Because that should bring the temperature back up to avoid encouraging more uric acid crystals to form. For me, I prefer to lose the ice and go straight for gentle warmth.
