Do not put a bandage on it to sleep at night, that is a setup for forming a blood clot in a deep vein in your leg. If you feel like you must wrap it, do so at a time where you will be mobile, to keep the blood in the circulation from sludging.
Also, take extra calcium supplements and an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen.

the best thing for a sprained or pulled muscle is to put a plastic bag of ice wrapped in a damp cloth towel on the area in pain. when the area starts feeling too cold or numb, remove the ice. when the skin is no longer cold, but the pain is not gone, put the bag back on the area.
also, take a strong over the counter pain reliever like Bayer or BC. (if you have any hydrocodone or codeine, though, that would probably be best!)
and DO NOT do any strenuous physical activities- take it very EASY for 2-4 weeks, depending on how you feel. when you feel normal again, wait one more extra week before you go back to your normal routines, to ensure that you do not pull/sprain it again b/c it might not be fully healed, even if you feel normal again.

No, you shouldn't keep an Ace bandage while sleeping, it could cut off circulation. Alternate heat and ice to relax and contract your muscle. It will help a lot. You can put the bandage on while you're up and around and need the extra support.

in case you wrap the ace bandage tight adequate you have problems with stream. yet somebody else stated spanx and those paintings somewhat nicely. in case you cant get that get some severe administration perfect pantyhose and shrink the legs off. I even have the same concern with my physique too. i've got found out its suitable to only purchase denims that have a litle stretch. while you're unlikely to placed on them top away provide it a week and drink countless water with a lighter weight loss software (no longer something severe). undergo in thoughts the 1st 5 lbs you unfastened is frequently water and that litle little bit of difference is all you %.
