Elevate it.: Elevation and immobilization will both help reduce your pain. The more you elevate, the less you swell, and the less you swell, the less you hurt. Elevation and following the directions given with your prescribed pain medication will reduce your pain as quickly as possible. Depending on your injury, you may be sore for awhile as it heals, though.
