ok even when you know all there is to no about injuries and kids and sports and stuff...shit happens. kids get hurt they play hard and then they cry. so how bout we spend a little bit of time talkin bout some things to do when the well dries up....so i know you guys have alredy heard about the RICE method but if you havent here it is:
R: rest. try hard to reduce or stop using the injured part at all
I: ice. put an ice pack on it for a recommended time of about 20 minutes, make sure you take breaks in between so the area can heal a little and not go numb.
C:compression. reduces swelling and if the area is bleeding applying pressure will eventually stop the bleeding.
E: elevation. keep the injury above the heart. try a pillow and a chair to do this. lets get that blood pumping!
im pretty sure there are plenty sites out there to tell you guys about the RICE method, but i learned this in high school and we're just gonna say im an expert on it, ok. no? dang it...well heres the link (sigh)
