I have a script for 800 mg ibuprofen, flexeril and vicodin. :)

I thought I was suppose to use ice instead of heat...have I been giving myself the wrong treatment?

Ice on a fresh injury.

Keeps it from swelling so much, also provides some numbing.

When you are a few days into it, heat is better.

Increases blood flow , more nutrients and oxygen move in.

Plus it feels good.
