Do I keep putting ice on it, or trade heat, then ice? Do I need to stay off it today? Thanks
Brief Answer:
see below
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for following up with me.
The goal of ice is to stop any swelling and relief you of pains. If you no longer have pains or the area is not, there is no need for that or heat. Also, feel free to go on and us your muscle as tolerated. This is not the knee joint where I would have been suspecting and looking for some other possible complications that could be linked with such an accident/incident.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Let me know if there is anything more you would want to know about this.
