What is the fastest way to heal a sprained ankle?

Question

i sprained my ankle and i am wondering how the fastest way would be to heal it.

Answer 1

Go out and get yourself an ankle "tensor wrap" and wear it when you are out and about and on your feet. Take it off when you are relaxing or sleeping. Try to stay away from any physical excursion until it becomes stronger. Massage and rotate your ankle as it is becomes stronger. Ice should only be used right after the injury while it is swollen. I've sprained and fractured mine twice, the tensor wrap is amazing because it stabilizes that area which has weakened because any slight wrong movement really hurts. Good luck and get well!! PS. While sleeping on your back put a nice pillow underneath it.

Answer 2

How did you sprain your ankle and are you sure it is just a sprain or do you have a fracture in there? Did you go to your doctor to get it examined and x-rayed? If you answered yes to both questions the fastest way to heal a sprain is by alternating from heat pad to ice every 15 minutes between right before going to bed. Stay off your foot as much as possible and before you go to bed rub some BenGay on your ankle or Arthritis Cream on it. If your conditions become worse such as swelling and increased pain or throbbing heart beat pain, you must see a doctor ASAP. He or she will re-examine you and possibly re-x-ray you to determine if your sprain is worsened or not. Good luck to you and hope you are feeling better.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
