Alleviate Pain by Cooling and Applying Painkilling Gel to Reduce Swelling and Inhibit Inflammation
Sport injuries?
Feel a stabbing pain while jogging? Have you taken a false step while playing ball, twisted your ankle while stepping off a curb, or fallen on your knee while rollerblading? Regardless of the type of injury, pain limits your activities and is often hard to bear. The question is: what to do? How can the pain be alleviated?
No weight should be placed on the affected joint or other part of the body if possible.
Cooling (make your own ice packs by wrapping ice cubes in a towel) can lessen the pain and cause the swelling to subside. The healing process can be promoted by applying a topical painkilling gel.
