	2006/02/06, 10:47 AM Hope you started icing it right away that can cut your recovery time in half.... 48 hours after, I would apply heat to the area....apply menthol/camphor and massage area lightly, then wrap the area semi tight and elevate your leg as much as possible... It's better to eat slightly more not less....your body is fighting hard to recover from the injury so it needs MORE not less calories....just focus on nutritious sources of food....I would slightly increase protein intake, slightly decrease carbs, and slightly increase healthy fats during this time.... If possible try to lift weights while recovering, substitute exercises to avoid injured area...
