Bones, joints and muscles

Had mri that showed a Grade 3 mcl tear 

Didn’t require surgery

The healing went well, stability is good, RoM is good, can do all exercises. 

But I get swelling after working out / playing hockey, so I still constantly ice and take ibuprofen. 

I get no pain at all, only swelling. It’s been almost 8 weeks.

Any suggestions ?

Ibuprofen can give you ulcers.  Please be careful.  It is something you never want.

Be patient and give it time. Talk to a sports medicine I ortho or PT. There maybe some topical cream.s instead of anti-inflammatory drugs which can have side effects .
