Ice, Advil and elevation. Keep your leg higher than your heart. Use an ace bandage wrapped not too tightly around the ankle to help push out some of the swelling. God it sucks. I've sprained mine so many times, its not even funny. Good luck. Stay off of it. It takes time. If it doesn't start feeling better in a few days; see a doctor. You could have a fracture or ligament / tendon damage.

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?

Lay down and sleep for a week. Lol, just kidding, but you might want to rent or buy some crutchs to use for while. Put ice where the swelling is and when the swelling goes down remove the ice, you don't want to freeze to death! Then put a heat pack on it to soothe the skin from the ice. Crutchs hurt though so try to schedule a light week it you have work or even try to get off some days and just relax at home.

that's "SPRAINED" ok I'll try to be patient. Anyway, wrap it in ice to keep the swelling down. Lay down in such a way as to elevate the ankle to keep the blood flowing down from the ankle. DON'T WALK ON IT!!! Wrap it good with ace bandage and don't walk on it for at least a day. continue with the ice... then try a hot bath too soothe it. Only time will heal it.

Apply ice for 15 minutes. Wrap it in an ace bandage. Elevate the ankle. Take advil to help with pain and/or swelling.

ice it for 15 minutes at a time every few hours and keep it elevated as much as possible. Try to stay off the foot for a few days.

I want to find this out too. I spranged my ankle in a basketball game. After that I lost my explosition in jumping and running. I went to see doctor and she said she couldn't see anything. I was like WTF. As other said, better use ice asap right after u injured it. Otherwise, it will be bad if u try to fix it later. ... =*(
