Ice pack is always preferred whenever there is inflammation. U can also use some gel for local releif. It is always better to consult the Orthopedic Surgeon if no releif in couple of days.
Next Steps
Consult Orthopedic Surgeon
Health Tips
Don't use hot water bag. Done use icepack directly,cover with a cloth and then use
