Coping with Dislocated Joints: Any Tips?

This is all really helpful thank you

K- tape

Like what others have said, elevate, ice, NSAIDs, and compression. They make a knee brace that can circulate ice-cold water that works like a charm but I borrowed one so I’m not sure how much they cost

Immobilize, ice and anti-inflammatory meds

once you reduce a dislocated or subluxed joint, it's paramount that you stabilize that joint asap. If you have a splint/brace/compression sleeve, slap that bad boy on immediately and do not take it off for at least 24 hours. as far as pain goes, ice and anti-inflammatories should help significantly reduce the amount of pain you're in. an orthopedist can help you and they can give you any stabilizing gear you could possibly need
