When a
joint is injured in the wilderness or anywhere else, use the
concept of "RICE" to speed healing and ease
discomfort.
The concept of "RICE" is as follows:
 |
Rest: Use the joint as little as possible.
|
|
|
Ice: Apply the coldest thing available to the joint (i.e. cold
water, ice, snow, etc.). Make sure you don't freeze the skin in the process.
|
|
|
Compression: Wrap the joint in an elastic bandage, elastic wrap,
etc., but
not too tightly.
|
|
|
Elevation: Keep the joint elevated above the heart.
|
Apply "RICE" for 20 to 30 minutes at a time, three to
four times a day until
the pain in the joint subsides.
