Brief Answer:
This is fine!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

RICE is very good and am happy you are already doing so. In addition, you could apply an elastic band around the affected area for compression. Do not forget icing for 20 minutes, 4 times per day for pain relief. I will add Ibuprofen 600mg thrice daily for further pain relief.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
