I broke my ankle, so how can I take care of it better?

It really hurts but so I want it to heal faster, since I am a dancer (ballet is my thing)

You need to follow the physician's instructions completely. Don't put any weight on it, whatsoever, until your doctor tells you to. Eat calcium rich foods and take a calcium supplement, Oscal was my doctor's suggestion. Be patient, don't push it, you don't want any future problems. Take care, hope you make a full recovery.

Stay off it so it can heal.
Keep it elevated.
Follow all the directions from the doctor.
