General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Give it a complete rest for at least two weeks. Apply Bengay ultra stretch gel on affected area. Cold sponging and Ibuprofen will help in reducing pain and swelling. Restriction from VBall is the key to complete recovery. Your physician must have done physicial examination and and diagnostic tests to rule out that you don't have any bone fractures or tendon tears. So don't worry and just stick to aforementioned instructions and you will be alright.


Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.
