Doctor can evaluate: For such new sports injuries, a primary care doctor, and orthopedic sports doctor, or a sports medicine doctor can evaluate and treat. Meanwhile, a person has to cut back or stop playing. Taking Motrin or advil (ibuprofen) three times a day for several days usually helps cut down inflammation and pain from sports injuries. The doctors can figure out the location of the injury (muscle, joint, nerves, etc...).
