Take sometime of your feet let it heal also if you are heavy lose weight. I saw a guy so big once his legs were brusied just from walking he will lose his legs some daty, brusied from ankles to knew and upper thighes to almost knees he was/is shreading his leg musles.

Answer 2

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?

Don't try working that ankle again until it is all the way healed. When you do, ask about exercises to strengthen it. Also, ask about testing the bone and seeing if it's brittle: A friend of mine used to bench-press 200 pounds, but he fell out of a tree and broke his arm, and since then he's found out he's inherited a condition that has rendered his bones brittle. He's not happy that this didn't get checked years before when he could have added stuff to his diet to help.

I had a recuring sprained ankle due too muscle weakness. As I recovered, I bought a cheap 20 inch round particle board bedside table, and a softball. I cut the softball in half, used construction adhesive to glu it to the center of the tabletop. I wouls spend several minutes a day gently flexing, and rotating my anke while holding on to the back of a straight back chair.

Answer 5

STAY OFF OF IT! How do you think it's going to heal when you're doing things like "playing football" for crying out loud?? If it's broken it needs to be in a splint. Go to a specialist and do what they tell you to do. That's the only way you're going to "get rid of it".

Answer 6

I have seen this in high school athletes. I am afraid your days of football are about over. See an orthopedic surgeon and see if he can repair the ligaments to help you walk.

Answer 7

RICE: rest, ice, compression (ace wrap) and elevation. Call and make an appt with an orthopedic Dr and stop playing football until you have it checked.

Answer 8

ANY SALT OR VINEGAR IS BAD .... A NO NO .... FOR SPRAINS AS IT WORSENS THE CONDITION AS IT SOFTENS THE BONES ..... BETTER GO SEE THE SPECIALIST BEFORE PUTTING THE STRESS ON THE BONE BY PLAYING FOOTBALL

Answer 9

you have to rest it long enough for it to heal otherwise you will just keep hurting it
