I had a four pound (1.81kg) bag I used for years and had the same thought about eating them. They had been thawed/refrozen many times.

Curiosity finally got the best of me and I opened it up.

Amazingly, they looked fit to eat. Being on the safe side we trashed them

Sorry to hear of your injury Jimmy, best wishes for your recovery. I've always found ice most efficacious when served with gin, tonic and a slice of crushed lemon.
