I'm A 61 Year Old Senior Softball Player With A Slight Groin Pull. Do I Use Ice And Then Heat Or Just Ice?

Both if they relieve the pain, generally ice is used first, but the aching later, responds well to heat, a good soak in the bath with bath salts.

The same strains and bruises and knocks experienced by sportsmen and women of all types, including hikers and mountain-climbers, are treated in this way.

Another treatment that many swear by is to take some tiny Arnica tablets available from health shops and chemists, and let them dissolve under your tongue hourly, immediately after the knock, and for two days after. Arnica is effective for all kinds of trauma, bruising and sprains. It also comes in a cream, which should not be used if the skin is broken.
