Heyesey Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Probably not *useless*, but the cold treatment will be more effective on a sprain. Heat is for muscle stiffness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ah, thats what i thought, so basically the deep heat is usless in this situation? For a sprain yes. Leg up on a chair, packets of frozen stuff from the freezer(if you havent got the proper cold packs) round the ankle for twenty minutes,and paracetemol if in pain.
