Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your question and here is my advice.
Use cold compresses at the injury side.
Use hydrocodone acetaminophen, or advil for pain.
Use the right dose of pain killers otherwise they don't work fighting the pain.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
