Torn Ligament... Need Relief!!

Today at work I torn a ligament. I tried Tylenol, bath, heating pad. I'm just in pain no matter how I move or lay or sit. Anyone else dealt with this? I'm 32 weeks.

Ice stops damage heat heals. So as long as its swollen ice it. You can also alternate heat and ice. Sorry that ***** when your already so uncomfortable from just being pregnent.

I would suggest ice over heat. Heat will make it continue to swell where as ice makes the swelling go down. My mom tore all the ligaments in her ankle when I was young and the hospital told her to ice it.
