You could do, but normally with bruising or swelling it's best to let the air get to it and keep things as normal as possible. x

So I had to go to urgent care because I took the plaster off and it was hot, red & a bit green [emoji1785]. I had a temperature too.
They’ve given the cut a thorough clean & given it a new dressing, and given me a course of antibiotics.
They didn’t seem bothered by the fact I can’t move my knee much, it’ll hopefully just go down soon. I hope that the infection clears up quickly too.
Eeeek! It sounds awful. Poor you- I hope the antibiotics are helping...... it actually sounds to me like you are being very brave. Hope you are being well looked after xxxxx
Hope it feels better soon Scass :hugs:
That's probably part of why you can't do much with it. Infections can be painful and the swelling will likely be worse for it.
A couple of days on the meds should help though. Once they kick in you might find the pain substantially decreases as much of that can be the infection. I found that with an infected thumb from a gardening cut and my broken wisdom tooth. Once burst or the infection killed off the relief was bliss!
Time to reward yourself and relax.
Thanks Terry. I think I’ll take the day off work!
