Apply an Ice Pack
Applying an ice pack helps relieve some of the usual symptoms like swelling, redness, and pain in the groin or abdomen. Apply an ice pack immediately to the affected area the next time you experience any of the aforementioned symptoms to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and reduce inflammation.
- Do this for the first three days of your injury recovery or until the swelling subsides.
- If you don’t have an ice pack, you can make one by putting ice cubes in a sealable plastic bag or by using a bag of frozen vegetables, such as peas or corn.
