Dull muscular pain, apply heat 15 minutes 3 times a day. The heat should temporarily numb the pain and allow for better movement. If it doesn't help and the pain persists for more than a few days, call nurse.

Sharp pain, call nurse. Pain should lessen on its own after a day or two if you stay off it. Always call the nurse to be sure. It's free and they'll let you know if you need to see someone.

Note, if it's in a sensitive area and there is bruising and sharp pain or pins and needles call the nurse immediately. Don't be afraid to say words. Tell them the truth so they can help. They don't care what you did. They're just there to help.

If it soothes the pain then go for it, if it makes it more painful then quit it.

Nah. It hurts extra to just touch... even slight touch. It's my not-dislocated thumb. I thought touching it to make it hurt would lower the tension.

If you've actually got a tear, massaging it can make things worse. If it's that painful, you should probably be getting it looked at.

I put ice on it and it made my whole hand cramp up... but it sure feels nice.
