Using Ice For Knee Pain Relief
Apply ice packs immediately to your knee every half hour after an injury. Ice reduces both pain and inflammation associated with muscle strains. Generally, icing is effective during the first two to three days after your injury, but continue to ice as long as you experience pain.
When your body experiences an acute injury, which is caused by a traumatic and sudden injury, it swells instantly and is very painful. Inflammation is part of our body’s natural process to heal itself and to stop the internal bleeding. Pain is there to stop you from doing things that can make the injury worse.
Heat For Knee Pain Relief
Heat can be very effective for relaxing muscles. Even if the muscles in the area of injury are not hurt themselves, tense muscles can put strain on other tissue in the area, making things worse, so relaxing those muscles can help take the strain off your injury. After a serious injury, do not use heat in the first 48 hours – use ice. If you mildly re-injure the area after it has started to heal, do not use heat until the new re-injury has stabilized. Wait 4 to 48 hours depending on the severity of the re-injury. If you have a lot of swelling and pain, don’t use heat.
Knee Injury Prevention
After you recover from your injury, moist heat may help relax your muscles and make it easier to use them. Put moist heat on the sore area for 10 to 15 minutes before you do warm-up and stretching exercises. Don’t use heat if you have swelling.
Always consult with your doctor when there is pain that won’t go away. Do not delay seeing a doctor if you think you have a medical problem. For more information on the knee click here.
