Better put some ice on that.
Satchel Paige was right!
It does help burns. No doubt about that.
So what should pitchers do?
baseball coach always said “walk it off.” I guess he knew what he was talking about.
Sell beer to drunk morons in the bleachers, perhaps?
Ice and cold packs are good for limiting swelling. Nothing more.
I know some old former pitchers who would probably say to forget selling the beer and just drink it themselves. Lol
Next they’ll be telling us to put butter on burns again.
I chuckled a bit at the end acronym of “METH.”
Play a better sport.
The worst ankle sprain I ever had was swollen half the size of my fist in less than five minutes. I have had many of them, but I could not put weight on that one for about ten days.
I can go along with movement to a point. However, in college I had an ankle sprain that did not seem too bad. I shot basketball and it felt pretty good for about 30 minutes. Then the bottom of my foot went into a spasm and it put me in bed for the rest of the day . . . very, very painful. Moral of the story is that you can easily overdo the movement thing.
Paging Bill Clinton.
Yep. I ran several miles after spraining an ankle, and the next morning it was so purple and swollen that the orthopedist had a second set of x-rays done after the first ones came back negative.
The MIRACLE cure for burns is baking soda made into a paste..and apply over and over again when it dries
I run cold water over the burn first while I am making my paste
You mean, this isn’t settled science?
Lol. I love baseball. At least through high school though I may change my mind soon. I have seen such bad behavior from parents this year!
