My daughter has a sprain - not broken (we did x-rays) and it has been pretty swollen for a week now. She has been icing it (with a large "soft" ice pack) all of the time, taking ibuprofen, etc. The swelling still hasn't really gone down. Yesterday, her coach told her to stick it in a bucket of ice water instead of using an ice pack. She did last night and the swelling has gone down so much. Coincidence? Or is this a trick that really works?
