• Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

Bluish discolouration or ecchymosis suggests internal bleeding from soft tissues or bone. Apply ice packs locally to relieve pain, swelling and ecchymosis. Give rest to injured limb and keep it elevated. Medications like Enzomac and Tendocare will help.
Next Steps
X-rays are required to rule out fractures. Visit Orthopaedic Surgeon for clinical examination.
Health Tips
do not ignore the injury.
