The cold will slow down the rate of swelling. It will also help numb it a little bit.  Use an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel. Don’t put the ice directly on your skin because this can damage your skin. On the first day, ice the fracture for 20 minutes per hour each hour during the day. For the next few days afterwards, use the ice every three to four hours. If you stay quiet your body will be able to direct more energy into healing. Resting will also reduce your chances of injuring yourself more.  If it hurts to move your arm, don’t. That is your body telling you that it is too soon. You may need more sleep while healing. Be sure to get at least eight hours. Being rested will also put you in a better mood and help you cope with the pain. These medications will also reduce inflammation. But wait 24 hours after the injury occurred before using these medications because they can increase bleeding or may decrease bone healing. Waiting 24 hours allows your body to begin healing naturally.  Take over-the-counter NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), if your doctor approves them. However, don't combine them or take more than recommended because they can cause kidney damage. Additionally, you may develop gastric ulcers if you use them long term. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and your doctor’s orders. Do not take more. Do not give medications containing aspirin to children under 19. Consult your doctor if you have or have previously had heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney problems, stomach ulcers or internal bleeding. Do not mix these medications with alcohol or other medications including over-the-counter medications, herbal remedies, or supplements. Talk to your doctor if your pain is still unbearable. Your doctor can write you a prescription for something stronger.
