Sprains, Tears, Bruises etc.

[wildonsquats]

I just wanted to start a thread as I lay here with an ice pack across my shins (I love you deadlifts) about how to tell if what you have is a sprain, tear, bruise or whatever and what to do about it (Ice, Heat, Elevation, Compression, or Emergency Room).

Lets hear your stories, and your fixes.

• Sprain= pain,swelling, recovery possible
• Bruise=pain, bad discoloration but everything works fine
• Tear=pain, discoloration, things don't work
