My main question is how long before a sports activity can you safely ice and not risk further injury? I know you have to be careful but if we are icing after practice and in the morning, I'm wondering what time an afternoon icing would be ok if practice is in the evening?

What did your doctor or sports trainer say?

I've never iced before practice to avoid an injury. Is this a thing?

Haven't seen a doctor yet. She says this has happened before and gone away. Only started last night and my assumption is it's a result of extra practices. Doctor visit will happen if it doesn't go away.
Not so much icing to avoid injury but icing til it feels til it feels better. Taking it easy at practice but still using the arm.
I do know you don't want to ice just before using the muscle, can cause more damage, but wasn't sure what a safe time before to do it.

I'd be very careful doing this and I wouldn't ice within at least an hour or more, if not longer, of practice. The pain is there to say something is wrong. Icing to make the pain go away and then practicing could mask another or worse injury. I would ice after practice and I stupidly played on a sprained ankle. I never iced before (I did keep advil in business, but I wouldn't recommend that either). |

Consult a doctor to avoid the risk of further injury!
