After a general fall and sprain, patients are used to applying plasters, or using safflower oil or other local application to achieve the effect of reducing swelling and pain. Yesterday I sprained my foot cold compress after the effect of rapid pain relief so that I have a practical experience of soft tissue injuries should be the preferred method of treatment. Yesterday at noon, I accidentally broke my left foot in the road cliff while waiting for the bus, when my left foot turned inward and my right knee landed on the ground. I got up and felt no great pain and continued to catch the bus. In the middle of the afternoon clinic, I often sat up and walked to check on patients. At around 5:00 p.m., I felt that my left foot was too painful to land, so I had to be supported, so I called the orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Wang, to consult what cream to apply externally, and he told me to apply a cold compress immediately. At the end of the shift, I went to the orthopedic emergency department and asked Dr. Liu to check it out. He said: it’s just a ligament strain, also let me apply cold compresses, and let me use a bandage to wrap the 8. When I got home, I immediately took out a pack of frozen tofu from the refrigerator and put it on the back of my injured foot for 5 hours, and I slept well at night. I woke up in the morning and I could walk on the ground basically without pain, and my foot was not swollen and then I wrapped the back of my foot with a bandage and felt very comfortable, I was surprised that the effect of cold compresses on soft tissue injuries was so good! Last night my husband also said that today to buy a crutch, it seems that you can not buy. I remember a few years ago I also had a broken foot, when there was no timely cold compress, sprained in the morning, the foot swollen like a dough bun at night, the pain did not sleep well overnight, the foot swollen for nearly half a month to get well. If you can take measures to apply cold compresses at that time, it is estimated that you do not need to endure a night of pain. If there are bruises in life, the first time to use cold compress method, because the tissue is injured within 48 hours of congestion and swelling is obvious, cold compress can inhibit the inflammatory response. Never hot compress, hot compress will aggravate the inflammatory reaction.
