    Immediate Action


    • Know your physical limitations.
    • Don’t “tough out” the pain in strenuous activity.
    • With any recent injury, use RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
    • For frequent pain, if the joint is not warm or swollen, heat may help relieve some of the joint pain.
    • Mild exercise will loosen and strengthen joints.

    See your doctor...
    If: you have pain in one joint for several days straight, you take a prescription painkiller or anti-inflammatory drug, but swelling persists.
    To: get medication for pain and swelling.
