yes, ice and elevate.

It's swelling because it's trying to heal. It's going numb because the swollen tissue is compressing nerves.

you're welcome! Feel better! Report It

  • Yes, it can swell for sometime.

    Keep it elevated! Sit or lay down with it level to your body.

    Put an ice pack on it to keep the swelling down.
    Take IB.
