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.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Alot of times one will feel pain kinda thumping in your toes. They may have put the cast on a bit tight and your leg isnt done swelling. Best to give them a call and maybe go in to let them check it out. It is normal to feel pain from this because when it happened your body probably went into a light shock and therefore you didnt notice how much pain it actually was.

I had a half cast on my wrist when I fractured it. It did hurt quite a bit for the first couple of days, just because it is still hardening and stiffening up. If it doesn't ease up in a few days you might want to call your doctor.

I would give it another day, i think your fracture is "settling down" with the new cast. But if the pain persists it is wise to return to your doctor or the hospital/

that is way normal. Sorry but you must endure some pain before it subsides to less pain

They may have it on badly. Go back and be sure.
