Help... Twisted ankle...?

Question

This morning when I was in class I stood up to turn in my test, when I started walking both of my legs felt like they were dead or numb and all of a sudden I twisted my ankle and it really hurt. It started hurting more as the day went by. Could it be sprained? Do you have any suggestions to make it feel better? Thanks.

Answer 1

Could be sprained.

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

So - wrap up your ankle in a bandage, get an ice pack. Prop it up and rest it.

Take pain relief - paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen if you are not allergic.

Tell some mates so they can come over and entertain you or at least get you a good DVD

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?

Answer 3

I believe you had a sprain ankle. What you could do is to pound some lemon grass and course salt till become paste. Then cover your sprain ankle with this paste and wrap it up with a bandage. The pain and swelling will subside.

All the best!!!

TRY PUTTING ICE AND HEAT ON IT CHANGING EVERY 20 MIN. YOU COULD ALSO USE AN ACE BANDAGE TO WRAP IT UP. KEEP IT RAISED UP TOO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. IT SHOULD BE OK IN A FEW DAYS.
