RICE Rest, ice, compression, elevation. Get rest, Apply a cloth-covered ice pack to the injured area for no more than 20 minutes at a time- 4-8 times a day, Wrap the injured area with an elastic bandage, but not so tightly that the blood is cut off. It should not hurt or throb.Elevation means raising the injured area above the level of the heart. The affected part should be elevated so it is 12 inches above the heart, to help reduce swelling. Get well
