What is the fastest way to get rid of ankle pain, sore ankle?

Answer 1

what ever you do dont wrap it, might relieve the pain temporary but will cause more swelling. alternate with ice and heat every 15 minutes you should feel better

Answer 2

I don't agree that chemical indications are the way to go. I am a Colour Therapist and if you have tried ice & elevation and it has worked, well done, if not try wrapping your ankle in light blue material. Light blue is a calming colour and will also take some of the pain out. Don't laugh, it does work, my mother at 63yrs is a sceptic however after bitching about a painful shoulder, I draped a blue towel the shoulder and within 5 minutes she had shut up.

Answer 3

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.

alternate every 15 mins with ice pack and hot compress ( do it for an hour hot -cold-hot-cold 2 times a day ) . Hot compress soothes cold pack helps n dulling and healing the pain. Take a pain killer to ease the pain. Most important rest the ankle and if possible use it as minimally as possible.
Also if it does not get well in 48 - 72 hours get to a doctor fast!

It could be broken, so the slowest way to get rid of it is by walking and doing other activities that involve using the ankle.

You need to find out what it is first. If it is twisted then wrap it in an ace, keep it elevated and becareful when walking. Unwrap it when you are in bed and don't play basketball.
