Rest your body. It needs time to heal. Ice your shin to ease pain and swelling. Do it for 20-30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days, or until the pain is gone. Take anti-inflammatory painkillers. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin, will help with pain and swelling.
Through Friday, since Mr. Obamaâs inauguration â his first 1,368 days in office â the Dow Jones industrial average has gained 67.9 percent. Thatâs an extremely strong performance â the fifth best for an equivalent period among all American presidents since 1900.
The largest was a 22-percent plunge on Oct. 19, 1987, when Ronald Reagan was in office. The next three, unsurprisingly, came in late 1929. But No. 9 on the list was a 7.87-percent plunge on Oct. 15, 2008 - beware October for the Dow - when George W. Bush was in office and Obama's election was three weeks away.
