Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

U can use OTC NSAIDS: if U R able 2 take them. Ice if just recent, hours, it also cuts down on the inflammation. 4 pain Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ASA, which is also a good anti inflammatory. After 2 days use heat & always rest like in a recliner, as well as activity modification. If U develop any leg pain,get in 2 C an orthopedic surgeon.
