Yes, but: Relative rest, elevation and ice will help with pain control and controlling inflammation. Now, just know that inflammation is the natural response of your body to heal the injury. If you are having severe pain and/or a hard time moving your leg or walking visit your doctor for an evaluation. www.otwithmd.com.
