Re: I need some advice please.

I was always told you ice an injury, 20 mins on, 20 off, steer clear of heat which usually just inflames the area. Later on he can use the heat, but for the first three days or so, I think he is supposed to stick with cold. At least, that is what my chiro has always told me. And I know from experience when I did as you suggest I just made the area more inflamed and painful.
