If you didn’t do the rice/ ice part in first 48 hours , and now you’re doing research a week later, should we still do that part or just move on to focusing on movement ?
How can you protect a torn ligament in the forearm? Any other tips for the forearm? My husband is an EMT and he injured himself a month ago and it is not healing. It doesn’t help that he’s been working more and longer hours, but Idk what else to do to help him heal! He’s been taking Curamed by Terry naturally supplements to help with inflammation and healing and I started giving him BCAA’s hoping that might help overall so he doesn’t overwork other muscles because of his pain. But he came home and his arms and hands were shaking from the pain today and Tylenol/ibuprofen isn’t doing it to take the pain away! I know his arm needs time to rest and heal, but that isn’t an option. So what can I do to help him and to protect? Should I buy a wrap and wrap his arm! And if I do..how should I wrap it? Should I buy some athletic tape? Is ice helpful at this point? (Seeing as it’s been so long..or wouod he need to do heat/ice/heat/ice since it’s been over a month?) and ANYTHING else you can suggest to progress his healing, I would greatly appreciate it! Especially if the ideas are cost effective, because we BROKE. But at the same token, tell me anything I could use externally and internally to help him heal faster or prevent further injury regardless of cost because whether I can do it now or not, it will be stored in my information bank. Thank you!
The creator of the R.I.C.E. method for acute injury rehab (Dr. Gabe Mirkin) recanted his 1978 proclamation of using ice as a part of the healing process in 2014. It makes blood more viscous which slows the circulation process rather than expediting it. Yes is can constrict blood vessels and also provided an analgesic effect to mitigate pain, but even the pain is a helpful part of the healing process as it lets you know what is a safe "pain free" range of motion that you can move through as you heal. Movement, muscle setting (contract-relax of surrounding musculature), elevation, and intermittent compression (distal to proximal wrapping, always "towards the heart") are the absolute best modalities to speed up the recovery process. Swelling is congestion in the joint of left over lymphatic fluid waste, a byproduct of the inflammation phase of the healing process. We need to decongest swelling with more circulation, and ice slows that down. Some extreme anti-ice advocates say ice is also a bad idea because there's the potential for cell necrosis (small version of frostbite in the tissue) which is yet another reason why we need to get ice out of our acute injury protocols. I try to tell this to as many patients as possible, but it's so ingrained in the rehab community due to the R.I.C.E. method still being part of the Physical Therapy education curriculum that it's hard to break old habits. If a patient needs ice immediately after something such as a TKA, I tell them use ice as needed to help tolerate pain as the trauma has their nervous system on high alert and they will just need to ease the pain as healing begins. However, every single time I have a patient who says "should I still be icing for swelling", I give them this exact speech. The idea that we should use ice for an acute injury to "help with swelling" needs to be ousted just like the destructive old school phrase "no pain, no gain".. which almost every shoulder replacement surgery patient tells me when they say they "push through the pain" during their HEP. Very destructive and irresponsible 1970s rehab mindsets in my opinion.
The mistake I made when I sprained both my knees playing basketball was staying in bed for 5 weeks like an idiot. Gotta keep it moving, don’t let your injury get stiff!
ICE is no longer recommended for almost 10 years now, the doctor who came up with RICE in 1978 withdrew the advice in 2015 after learning that inflammation is an important part of the healing process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RICE_(medicine)
use a castor oil wrap with cotton pad, saran wrap and sock to get a faster pain n swelling reduction. worked for me!! within 1 hr after wrapping foot, was then able to place it flat on the floor. within 5 hrs, able to put pressure on the foot on the floor. the next day was able to put some weight on that foot. amazing stuff!
I sprained my ankle but was terrified to move it because of the pain and barely walked/moved/stretched on it for the first week. Now on week 3 and starting to feel better but still nowhere near recovered.
As soon as I started stretching it last week the swelling went away.
My finger got cut by a drone july 3rd and i already got my stiches off july 14 but the one part they couldn't stich is still there and i dont know what to do because its on my right hand on my ring finger and i start school in less than a week please help😢
So basically (for muscle injuries only) Wrap it up and keep it protected, keep it moving, ice during excessive swelling, keep it compressed and elevated during rest periods. Pretty sure most people know this ngl
Ice slows recovery
Ive got a half inch deep cut across the back of my heel, I don't think this is it
Sir for knee😢

Is my foot supposed to look purple if I get an ankle sprain?
Get up and deal with it
They’ve shown ice slows healing. The guy that created RICE retracted his treatment plan and said he no longer endorses this method.

Basically, you want to maximize blood flow (which is why lifters walk/cardio after working out). I disagree with trying to remove the swelling.
How to elevate shoulder?
I need this thanks
Ice should not be kept more than 15min in inflammatory phase.
most easy way: be patience
My ankle is still swallowing when I walk on it what can I do for it.
😂😂 The Bosu ball is the suspect of how I’m here for this great fix me fast video 😬🥳
Don't do this on grade 3 ankle sprains no😂
Pls record a video on how to heal better from a 5th metatarsal injury
How does this affect ligament and possible
Nerve damage
Crying while doing this on my “sprained” ankle after being told to walk it off (im balling it hurts so bad bro😭)
Ice 🧊? After when ? Move the anckle? This is not clear for me I have a intern malleoulus fracture and I’m in the 4 week after cirgury
My foot get stitched so i jave a long time
Nah I ain’t doing that I have a better and faster way just recite that one dua for healing and BOOMMM! No pain btw the dua is from @DanzyHD108
Ice has been proven to be ineffective in treating most injuries. You want to promote blood flow not restrict it
My 9 year old has problem with groin pain since 4 years pls help 🙏
this is an outdated management approach, its widely understood nowadays ice slows down the inflamatory healing response.
use a castor oil wrap with cotton pad, saran wrap and sock to get a faster pain n swelling reduction. worked for me!! within 1 hr after wrapping foot, was then able to place it flat on the floor. within 5 hrs, able to put pressure on the foot on the floor. the next day was able to put some weight on that foot. amazing stuff!

When I had leg spiral fracture & also my ankle .. I was told not to ice it .. that’s per my ortho surgeon… had to keep in a boot until surgery
I cant even move abit 😂😢
Most of the experts now say that the RICE thing is delaying the healing???
This is not effective or sustainable: i have tried these without recovering.
Simply: walking & cycling long distances will really heal all injuries.
Me: pops it
My finger got cut by a drone july 3rd and i already got my stiches off july 14 but the one part they couldn't stich is still there and i dont know what to do because its on my right hand on my ring finger and i start school in less than a week please help😢
PRICE
Protect
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate2
Use POLICE 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
So basically (for muscle injuries only) Wrap it up and keep it protected, keep it moving, ice during excessive swelling, keep it compressed and elevated during rest periods. Pretty sure most people know this ngl
What of it's a complete ligament tear
Peace and love IS better than police
