Ice for Injuries- Your Tips and throughts

[Guy Grundy]

Hey Guy's

I hope everyone is well. I am sitting here Icing my Big toe and I thought while I am sitting here Icing my Toe I would check with my fellow Getbbigers on their thoughts and experieces using ice for injuries?

My personal experimentation has come up with this. The best way I have found is to do 20 minutes on 20 minutes off for a total of 3 times. I use Frozen Corn and have found this to be the best. I have tried a great deal of different products to apply the ice & various time periods using off & on periods with the ice.

Some of you may be wondering why am sitting here Icing my Big Toe at 10.46pm on a Saturday Night. I have turf Toe and it is a very annoying injury because you use your toe quite bit it seems. Anyway your tips and ideas on this subject would be appreciated.

P.S Any tips or ideas on Turf Toe would also be aopreciated!

If I cut it off I could also then use the Ice to help stop the swelling. Thanks Bro, you is a Genuis!

Whats up Guy

Yeah mate icing is great for injuries. Depends on the injuries, but following RICE(R) is good.
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Referral.

Just make sure the ice pack is wrapped up in a tea towel or something so it doesnt burn your skin.

[chaos]

I've heard that several times about wrapping the ice......but when I have done that I hardly feel it, I always end up just putting the ice in a baggy and using that instead.

Thanks Mate! Yeah I learn't the buring of the skin with the Ice the HARD WAY when I used this real cold product and I got into whatever I was doing and the next thing I know it is 45 minutes later. I had discoloration and and burnt skins for at least 2 months. It made my calf look SMOOTH. Not a Good Thing when they are already SMOOTH!

Hope all is well for you and 2008 is a big year for you!

He was 80 pounds overweight.  So I think he had trouble balancing and walking BEFORE that.

Hey Guy, long time bud. I'm a bag or peas man, myself. If you haven't heard, there's a guy called Vince on this board who's been calling you out (which now ironic, as he is now himself)!

My Boy Vinnie backed downed from any confrontation with me as he has done with everyone else. He even let Derek Anothny spit on him and did nothing. I think Vinnie likes to talk but that's about it. Sad but True!

Did you jam your toe? Depending on the severity, rest, Ice, elevating it and anti-inflammitories. Thats about it!

I did it 4 years ago. I was doing Muay Thai and through a kick to the body and I cuaght his elbow right on top of the Joint and it has been sore ever since. I use a inner sole specifiucally for Turf Toe and it has worked pretty. Icing seems to be the best though. Thnaks

Somehow i knew you had suffered you injury while battling in the octagon

I was doing Muay Thai which is done in a RING. The UFC uses an Octagon. You have shown your ignorance in regards to MMA. That stands for Mixed Martial Arts. But of course you knew that Mr UFC.
