To help you heal, follow these icing instructions if you continue to have pain. The guy who taught me this was the Olympic bobsled trainer.
Icing Instructions:
#1 Use real ice…it goes deeper into the tissues than blue gel packs.
#2 Put ice cubes or crushed ice into a zip lock FREEZER bag.
#3 Add some water to make it slushy… it will conform to your body better.
#4 Ice for 20-30 minutes… on the skin…don’t wrap it in a towel.
#5 Don’t fall asleep
#6 If you never know what to do… use ice.
#7 Getting ice on an injury within 24 hours can decrease your healing time by almost half.
#8 You can ice every 2 hours if necessary
