Injury / Forum Gathering / Birthday Shoutout

As most of you have already noticed, while playing futsal last Monday, I strained my left calf. And it's kinda weird as I got the injury without being tackled or roughed up by anyone. I just merely passed a ball and my calf muscle gave way I think. And the next thing I know, I was like "Aiiyyooo Amma..my leg!"

When I got back, I used the most trustworthy injury treatment method that I learned from the world wide web. Its called RICE and it does not mean that you eat more rice or apply rice on the injured area. RICE is the simplification of Rest, Ice, Compress and Elevate.

Rest - Rest is very important so that you don't aggravate the injury and so that your body has the energy needed to heal itself. This explains why I skipped class the next day and this also means no porn for at least a few days to come. :-(

Ice - Anything cold acts to relief pain and most importantly reduces blood flow to the injured area to reduce swelling. After the swelling goes away, the ice then can be used for Teh O' Limau Ais.

Compress - Compress the affected area with bandage to limit swelling. Not to overdo it though. Or else rather than reducing the swelling, you'll be reduced of a leg due to lack of blood circulation to your leg.

Elevate - It is said its best to elevate your injured area above the heart when sleeping. In my case, I put my leg above a pillow. I'm not too sure why though. Being always twisting and turning in the bed, my leg always ends up under the pillow rather than on top.
