New Do what I did
After we got home, we hugged and prayed as a family, then whipped up a large pitcher of strong strawberry daquiri's, warmed up the hot tub, and am now feeling quite nice :D

New Heat might be bad
When I jiggered my knee, whilst out running, I made the mistake of NOT icing it, but instead getting into a nice hot bath.

While this felt good at the time, it didn't do anything to take down the swelling and this meant I spent a good couple of weeks longer than I needed to being gimpy.

Stuff That Worked For Me:

1. Ibuprofen. Excellent pain relieve, got the swelling down.
2. Neoprene knee brace. Did it up nice and tight, kept me mobile and at work.
