We get to macho or eager to train. Giving it long enough rest can be hard to do. For first aid I subscribe to <strong>R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).</strong> Just like you said the sooner you do it the quicker and better your recovery. When I tore my meniscus I was out for 2 months.

I kept training on it and didn't "keep it moving" like you should so my mcl healed shorter which then the big nerve (cyadic?) shortened and fluid built up in the knee over time... end result, 3 to 4 months off, rehab, muscle loss, skill loss, and very sad face... but i am now back at it i tore my mcl and beatup my minicus during a knee bar (didn’t have time to tap) 2 lessons… first, when trapped in side guard pull guard don’t go turtle… second, treat it properly immediatly.

Lookup "Intu flow" on youtube. There's a series of videos showing a short warm up routine that gets your joints lubricated and nutrition flowing into them. It's helpful for injuries and useful for preventing injury too. - Jeremy Jason,

I'll have to look into them deeper. Now horse rub, that is a new approach. And you really like it? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I asked for tips and expected to hear things I hadn't used or known about before. Thanks Chris. I didn’t think the sports gels did anything more then superficial pain relief.

Thanks for the tips. I too R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) but I hadn't thought of my injuries as severe enough to do R.I.C.E. After reading your comment I wanted to slap myself. Oh course I should be doing those things! Duh! Thank you for bring me to my senses. Wow, you sound like a old pro when it comes to injuries and recovery. Thanks for the tips. I too R.I.C.E.

It says on the tube it's animal use only. Ah well, it works, and it smells lovely and minty :-) Massage Ice

When the injury is fresh (within the first 24-36 hours) alternate heat and ice every 20 min. The heat dilates the blood vessels and increases blood flow to the affected area. The ice constrains the blood flow, preventing too much/further swelling (which can exacerbate the injury) and helps with the pain. After the first 24-36 hours, the ice won't help as much, but warmth will. Ibuprofen religiously. Rest, compression, elevation also are good. Gentle, gentle, gentle movement and light fluid stretching too. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
