Hi bros
I have had deca in my shoulder, 2 days now n it's still red n swelling.
Will icing help reduce swelling ???
Or I should stick with warming the area ???
Ice should be rarely used for anything. Just stop and think about it. Do some research on the "healing cascade" and learn the healing process then ask yourself what ice does. It constricts capillaries etc reducing not only the flow of blood and healing elements in but also waste material out.
Then look beyond that to the lymph system and ask yourself what it does. It removes waste from the body as well and it does so by the muscles in the area contracting.
All that being said what we have been told for years by the medical community (ie R.I.C.E) is bullshit.
Man I pinned deca in my glute 4 days ago, shit stiiiilllll hurts.. Massaging it is best I find. It breaks up the static blood pooled in the oil. I message at night before bed, and in the morning when I wake up. It usually helps with reduce stiffness and pain.
