HOW DOES R.I.C.E WORK:

How often and for how long should I apply ice?

What type of compression should I use and how tight should it be ?

Should I elevate my arm while applying ice or compression, and how should I position it ?

Can I still perform light activities while following the RICE treatment, or should I completely immobilize my shoulder?

Can I combine heat with or instead of ice after a few days?

Are there any over-the-counter medications that complement the RICE treatment for better pain relief?
