I would ice it for about twenty minutes but no longer than that and then I would wrap it up or put it in an ankle brace. Then I would stay off it and watch tv or just try to stay off you feet. And if you have one, I would soak it in a foot bath. If not, just soak it in hot water for about twenty minutes and keep it wrapped up as much as possible to reduce the swelling.

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?

relax, relax and relax! positioned ice because it is going to help it stop swelling or strengthen the situation of any bruise-like bluish tinge on it. additionally, stop stressful! The greater you panic or subject, the greater severe you will make it ... loosen up :) different than that, do get it x-rayed or something so which you're definitely helpful that it is not a huge deal. additionally, as quickly as as quickly as I sprained myself, i found out that a pillow under the ankle isn't basically soothing, it reminds you to take greater beneficial care of your ankle; do not forget approximately and without warning attempt walking on it :s
