Rest is essential to the healing process and to avoid unnecessary pain from the injury. If you must use the joint (e.g., walking), do so with caution and extra support. Use crutches to walk if you sprained an ankle or knee. Wear a sling for wrist or arm sprains. Wrap a splint around a sprained finger or toe and attach it to the digit next to it. Don't avoid all physical activity because of the sprain, but avoid direct use of the injured joint for at least 48 hours or until the pain subsides. If you are involved in sports, talk to your coach, trainer or doctor about when you can return to sports. Using an ice pack or cold compress, apply pressure to the injury for up to 3 days until the swelling goes down. Use any form of frozen compress such as ice cubes in a plastic bag, reusable chemical ice packs, a frozen towel, or even bags of frozen vegetables in a pinch. Administer ice treatment within 30 minutes of your injury if possible. Do not apply ice directly to the skinuse a towel or cloth to protect your tissues.

Find supportive athletic tape as an alternative to bandages if necessary. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure what type of wrap to use or how to use it. Elevation helps minimize or prevent swelling. Try to keep the injured body part elevated for 2 to 3 hours each day. Sit or lie down with the injured knee or ankle propped up on a cushion. Use a sling for wrist or arm sprains to bring the limb above the heart. Sleep with your injured arm or leg propped on 1-2 pillows if you are able to. Raise the injured part to the same level as your heart if more elevation is impossible. Beware of any feelings of numbness or tingling and reposition your injured joint if you do; consult a doctor if this continues. These can help with pain and inflammation caused by your sprain. However, avoid aspirin, as this promotes bleeding and can therefore cause complications and extreme discoloration of the skin. Look for NSAIDS including ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) or Aleve, which are usually recommended for sprains due to their anti-inflammatory properties. You can also take acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) products for pain. Consult a doctor or pharmacist for dosage and the most effective product for you. Ask a doctor or pharmacist about taking these pain relievers if you already take other prescription medications. Follow the product label for dosage and frequency. Be aware of the potential side effects of over-the-counter pain relievers. >. Use pain relievers together with all aspects of the RICE therapy.

For the first 72 hours after your injury, it's essential to be especially cautious. Keep out of hot waterno hot baths, hot tubs, saunas, or hot compresses. Abstain from drinking alcohol, as it increases swelling and bleeding and slows healing. Take a break from strenuous exercise like running, cycling, and other similar sports.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even though your husband is having trouble with your relationship with your friends, don't let your relationship with them suffer. Refrain from talking too much about your husband and his jealousy of your friendship -- they will certainly be in contact with him in the future, and it could be uncomfortable for everyone. Just explain that you're trying to figure out a way for you to continue being a good friend and wife and that sometimes it's complicated. If your husband refuses to talk to you about his feelings, it might be time to suggest couples' counseling. Because it's a neutral environment with a trained mediator, he might be more inclined to let you know what he's feeling. Sometimes he might not know what he's feeling, and talking to a therapist can help. If your husband refuses to talk to a counselor or therapist with you, it might be a good idea to book an appointment yourself. You need help sorting through your feelings and trying to understand why your husband is acting as he does. Because it's partly tied to your friendships, this is not a time to talk these issues over with your friends -- you need someone outside the situation.

SUMMARY: Keep in touch with your friends. Talk to a therapist or counselor together if he won't communicate. Discuss your feelings with a therapist or counselor.
