The rush of blood and oxygen to the affected area is vital as these elements help in repairing the affected region. Take ice cubes in a plastic bag and wrap a thick piece of cloth around the plastic bag. Never bring ice in direct contact with the skin when treating an affected area. Take this wrapped iced bag and apply it over the tender area. Always make an application of 20 minutes in an hour. Do not keep the ice prolonged to the region for the more than stipulated mentioned time. After every 20 minutes, rest aside for the next 20 minutes and apply once again, till relief is sought.
