Answers:
Rest the arm and apply ice wrapped in a towel for at least 30 minutes!. If the pain is gone and there is no swelling at the end of this time, you can stop the ice treatment!. A sling for shoulder and elbow injuries and a partial splint for wrist injuries will give protection and rest to the injury while allowing the patient to move around!. Continue ice treatment for 30 minutes on and 15 minutes off through the first eight hours if swelling appears!.
Heat can be applied after 24 hours!. The injured joint should be usable with little pain within 24 hours and should be almost normal by 72 hours!.If not, see the doctor!. Complete healing takes from four to six weeks, and activities with a likelihood of re injury should be avoided during this time!. And good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
