Yes, it often does.
Yes ice numbs the area and reduces conduction of nerve impulses. A combination of ice and hot compresses may be better
Temporarily it may help fir a few minutes but do not apply directly on area which does not have good sensation. You can develop an ice burn. Apply wrapped in a towel for a few minutes at a time.
