Reply to "Should a 14yo be using Icy Hot Regularly?"

I would agree with the above.  The Icy/Hot just makes your skin feel hot and doesn't really do anything to the underlying injury.  If anything, use real ice to reduce inflammation.  However, you really should have your parents get you  looked at.  My son is a catcher that actually fractured his collar bone from a foul ball when he was around 12 or 13.  It didn't hurt bad, or bruise much so we never thought anything of it (or even got it looked at..we had no idea it was broken).  It actually caused scar tissue to build up and impinge a nerve that led to other problems when he was older (16 - 18).  Get it looked at now to make sure nothing is going on...and if something is going on, you can get it treated now and be ready for the spring.  Good luck!
