I sprained my knee several weeks ago and ice was the best thing for me!. It's still sore and I ice it when it gets swollen or achy!. I heard that ice is for the pain and then heat is to comfort it!. I got great info on how to handle my hurt knee at http://www!.prevention!.com/cda/homepage!.d!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Alternate heat and cold for the first 24 hours, after that just use cold packs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
