how to reduce swelling besides ice?

So me and my boy were playing basketball last night, and we went for a rebound and he ended up clockin me in the eye. I was about to beat the fuck out of him, but I wasn't about to hurt my boy over some basketball. But now I feel like beating the shit out of him cuz I got a huge swollen black eye(even though I won't unless we get totally twisted at this party we are going to tonight and he starts talking shit). So yeah I got ice on it right now, what lse can I do so I don't look like a retard?

 

make up a story about fighting off a robber from a hot chick on the street and he got a punch in but then you kicked his ass and then she fucked you because you were so heroic and manly
or you could just say you got accidentally punched.

 

jus tell everyone you got into a fight with two bears, but be smart about it.. say you were gettin down with one of the bears fuckin him up but then outta nowhere his homeboy yogi straight pawd the fuck outta your face when you werent looking. pussy ass bears....

 

Shrink.

 

I use Motrin for all headaches and injuries. I'm not sure it reduces swelling but it might. Read this site too.

 

just deal with it? let your douche baggy ego take a hit.. seriously? for a second you thought about beating the shit out of a friend over an accidental hit?

 

motrin--advil--both are nsaids--non sterodal anti-inflamitory drugs

 

use a scalpel and make an incision across the swollen part under your eye, it will relieve pressure and help swelling go down

kind of extreme, but you sound like a TOTAL badass so it should be right up your alley

sorry, can't help you there

 

Good point, though some black eyes can look pretty disgusting, so it's understandable to be pissed. But shit happens so unless your friend did it on purpose, which it sounds like he didn't, then you just have to suck it up and hope it doesn't get too bad.

 

Of course I thought about punching back, I got caught up in the moment and he's always doin some grimes shit towards me and that all built up, so instead of hitting him I just told him to get away from me real quick and after I calmed down we finished the game, I didn't play dirty either.

 

in that case you should probably just be a man and resolve any issues you have with him and ask for some respect so you don't blow up at him one day

 

There really aren't any issues we haven't settled, its just the little dumb shit and the "we've known each other for 6 years and chill all the time" tension

 

ye brah
