This is because the temperature in your freezer is higher than dry ice's sublimation point, and so it will all sublime over time. As it sublimes, the gas takes up more space than the solid, and your freezer will explode open for the gas to come out!

If you want to apply cold to an inflamed area, it does not have to done by an ice pack; anything frozen will work, frozen peas, frozen meat, etc. If you have absolutely nothing in your freezer, or possibly don't own a freezer, then possibly you can run cold water from the tap.

Can ice cream freezers be used as a regular freezer?

An ice cream maker is commonly called an ice cream freezer. The crank ones require salt and constant cranking to maintain the temperature, so they would not be practical for this use. There are electric ones that have their own compressors, taking the mix to frozen in about 30 minutes, which look like they cost about $1200. They hold 4 quarts. Yes. They make great freezers. I have one myself and I love it. My daughter can stand in front of it all day and look all she wants because it has 2 glass doors. I'm sure the answer above refers to an ice cream maker, not a freezer.
