After a serious injury, do not use heat in the first 48 hours-use ice. If you mildly re-injure the area after it has started to heal, do not use heat until the new re-injury has stabilized. Wait 4 to 48 hours depending on the severity of the re-injury. If you have a lot of swelling and pain, don't use heat.
Both heat and cold can help reduce pain. However, it can be confusing to decide which is more appropriate at any given time. These basic rules may help: Use cold for acute pain or a new swollen/inflamed injury. Use heat for chronic pain or an injury that is a day or more old. Ultimately, you need to choose what works best for you. If icing feels unpleasant, then heat may provide more comfort. However, it is important to take the type of injury into account.
