He recommended waiting 5 or 6 days, and then going to therapy if there was little/no improvement.
Any suggestions for getting all the motion back? I've been bending it, soaking in warm water to loosen it up, and even iced it for a little while last night.
As a sax player, kinda important that I get it all the way healed up.
