This is what NHSDirect writes: * Rest – stop the activity that caused the injury and rest the injured joint. Two days (48 hours) of rest is recommended. * Ice - apply an ice pack to the area for between 10 and 30 minutes. The ice must not touch the skin directly as this may cause a cold burn, so place a towel over the injured part first. * Compression – compress or bandage the injured site to limit swelling and movement that could damage it further. * Elevation - raise the injured area to an elevated but comfortable height (above heart height wherever practical) to reduce swelling, especially at night. Gravity helps reduce swelling by draining away excess fluid. http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?articleId=345&sectionId=7077 Ouch Slim :( and it still hurts badly?

I slipped on the stairs and fell six steps, sprained my shin and its swollen. The pain has only increased since I rested. It didn’t do the trick for me though.
