Hi, thanks for the response. I have a Marines that work for me that periodically get swollen ankles and muscles from excessive workouts and marching. I'm a bit confused of when it comes to using Hot or Cold compresses. Usually we try to just ignore the pain, but sometimes... its just a little hard to do :) Thanks.
The above was a PM I got from Master Sergeant:
I wanted to post it here in case any of you had the same question.
Cold is used for acute injury (acute meaning sudden injury) such as a sprain or swelling. It will help contract the veins and bring down swelling and pain. It should be used only for 30 minutes at a time.
Heat is used for chronic injury (meaning long lasting) such as back aches, muscle cramps or menstrual cramps. Alternating hot and cold will work also for chronic injury on some people. For this method alternate hot and cold at 30 minute intervals.
