So I know if you have new injuries like sprain and bruises you should use ice, but what about just pain in general?
I got knee injury and it's mostly healed I believe. Then I got a hamstring tendonitis (medial knee area) two weeks ago and I was fine for the most part now. However I can still get some pain after exercising and/or the day after. What should I use in such situation, ice or heat? I don't know if I have injured the area again.
Last night I applied ice for 15 to 20 minutes and used anti-inflammatory cream before sleep. Today I felt slightly better but honestly I didn't know if the ice and the drug had anything to do with it, and those two things seem to work the opposite as the drug made it feel hot.
Thanks!
