How can I relieve pain from physical therapy?!
Question: How can I relieve pain from physical therapy.?
Two weeks ago, in jiu jitsu, I tore my ACL and MCL. I stayed completely off of it for a full week, applying ice, keeping it in a brace, and taking anti inflammatory meds so that the swelling could go down, which it finally has. On Monday, I started physical therapy, and since then, my leg has ached badly. I don't know if it's from the therapy or from my MCL trying to heal or both, but my leg aches a lot up and down the back side of my leg. The pain is especially bad when I'm upright on crutches or sitting upright in a chair. It's only relieved when I sit down and rest my leg; even then, I'm still uncomfortable.

If you have an OK from your PT, I'd say to vary ice packs and moist heat (or at least a heating pad). Twenty minutes on the area and twenty minutes off. Vary the ice and heat. It at least numbs some of the pain. Keep on your anti-inflammatory medications. They do help.Health Question & Answer
