Ice

I know ice has come under fire recently, but for many overuse injuries marked by inflammation, using ice can help decrease your pain.

Avoid the exercise that bothers that area for a few days.

You don’t have to stop exercising altogether. Just find an exercise that doesn’t stress the injured area for a few days. Then go back to your preferred exercise and see how it feels.

Try an over-the-counter brace or compression wrap.

Not every cause of pain will respond to a knee sleeve or an ACE bandage. For some problems, especially when you notice swelling, these remedies can make you feel better and do your activities a little easier.

Stretch the painful area.

For minor problems, often some simple exercises to stretch the painful area can help. Likewise, use of a foam roller or even massage to that area can help decrease pain and swelling.

See a physical therapist.

In all 50 states in the U.S., you can see a physical therapist without a doctor’s prescription. They can evaluate your injury, take steps to help decrease pain and swelling and recommend exercises you can do to heal and return to exercise. If they feel it’s a more serious problem, they can recommend that you see a sports medicine doctor or orthopedic surgeon.

It’s never a bad idea to see a doctor for a bone or joint injury. But if you feel your injury is minor, these steps might help get you back in the game quickly and safely.
