If you hurt it 12 days ago skip the ice and go to heat to relax the muscles and improve the blood flow for repair. I also like something like Icy Hot for when you need to be on the move - the key is to keep the muslces from spasming.
And don’t laugh but a glass a wine won’t hurt - a doctor recommended it to me years ago when I couldn’t tolerate the muscle relaxants/painkiller combo after an injury and haven’t used a Rx since for 2 bulging discs and a bone spur in my neck and spinal stenosis in my lower back.[/QUOTE]
I can’t lie, vodka has helped. Ice helps withe the spasms. So does moving around on the physio ball. Sitting and standing are bad. Slow walking isn’t terrible. Horses crashing into me really sucks!!
The farrier has a hot tub, but he is over in Bucks County and I think the drive will probably negate the benefit!! Plus, he’d like it too much!
