  1. What to Do in the First 24 Hours After a Sports Injury

  2. Immediate Actions: What to Do Right Away ▶ Prioritize Safety: Move away from the source of injury if possible and ensure the area is safe. ▶ Assess the Situation: Quickly evaluate the severity of the injury. Is there severe pain, deformity, or inability to move the injured limb? ▶ Control Bleeding (if applicable): If there is an open wound, apply clean dressing and direct pressure. ▶ Do NOT move the injured part unnecessarily.

  3. The R.I.C.E. Method: Your First Line of Defense ▶ R - Rest: Avoid using the injured body part. Rest is crucial for healing. ▶ I - Ice: Apply an ice pack (wrapped in a cloth) to the injured area for 15-20 minutes every 2- 3 hours. ▶ C - Compression: Gently wrap the injured area with an elastic bandage to reduce swelling. ▶ E - Elevation: Keep the injured limb raised above the level of the heart to minimize swelling.

  4. When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention ▶ Severe pain that is unbearable or doesn't improve with R.I.C.E. ▶ Obvious deformity of the limb or joint. ▶ Inability to bear weight on the injured limb or move it. ▶ Open wounds, significant bleeding, or signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus). ▶ Numbness or tingling in the injured area.
