The key to recovery from these injuries is early treatment and changing the root cause. It can mean less time away from activities, fewer trips to a health care provider, and avoidance of surgery or other complex medical procedures. Use the athlete approach: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate if you do have temporary pain. EHS Stats FW 39 YTD Days since last Rate Recordables 8 05 4.28 DAFWC 0 504 0.00
