    Greetings,

    What do you mean "after a jump"
    Do you mean you jumped out of bed, or were you parachuting? :)

    The most reliable first aid treatment for injury is RICER

    Rest - Stop doing what it was that caused it. stop using the affect area.
    Ice - Ice/cold pack/bag of frozen peas. wrap it in a cloth and hold it on the area for 20 minutes. Leave it off 2 hours and repeat (no longer than 20 minutes or you risk frostbite!)
    Compression - apply pressure
    Elevation - keep it up
    Referral - go see someone who knows what they're doing.

    Heat is a no no, as it increase blood flow, and forces inflammatory chemicals to build up, and can delay healing.

    hope this helps
