People cope with the heat by keeping a microfiber towel on them that can be wetted almost anywhere and holds the cold well. They also keep a metal container with ice cubes to add to the towel throughout the day. For joint support, people use kinesiology tape (K tape) which can be found in videos online for any problem area. It's important to strengthen the muscles around the joints slowly so as not to overdo it. Some people also use braces occasionally when the pain gets really bad or KT tape for some support and compression.
