Hello Sir, I'm sorry to read about your troubles!
For recent injuries, applying ice in a damp towel can reduce pain and swelling. You can apply it for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, as often as desired during the day.
Tylenol is a good option to help relieve pain. Please check with your pharmacist to see if anti-inflammatories like Advil are safe for you.
If this is a possibility for you, I strongly suggest that you consult a physiotherapist: they are the best professionals to assess an injury and develop a realistic treatment plan with you. Most group insurances cover this type of service.
I hope I've been helpful, so please don't hesitate if you have any further questions
Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
