Gently massage or rub the injured area to lessen pain and speed up blood circulation. Stop massaging the injured area if you pain increases.
Be sure to avoid such things as showers, hot tubs, hot packs, or alcoholic beverages for the first 2 days after an injury as these things may aggravate your swelling.
