It immediately hurt and the pain has gotten a little better since yesterday but not much. I have a basketball game tomorrow, is there anyway i can get this thing healed up, ice heat? Thank you
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also recommend using cold compresses for local application. It I recommended to rest and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
