Once you sprain an ankle you are at an increased risk to reinjure. Please take some time to fully heal. Ask your doctor about physical therapy since they can help you with proper exercises for your specific condition and assist with returning to fully activity in a same manner.

I agree with Cascade. Do not rush the healing process on a sprained ankle. I did not have the ability to stay off mine (couldn't pay the rent if I had) when I sprained mine back in 2001 and I resprained it three more times that year alone. I still have problems because it never had a chance to heal correctly. Make sure when you do get off your crutches that you wear shoes with the proper amount of support in them. Stay away from flip-flops that offer no support for your newly healed ankle and keep your shoes on most of the day until you are fully healed. Check to make sure you do not have low or fallen arches. If you have these, get arch support inserts to keep your foot from rolling inward and causing more damage to your ankle.

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?

Talk to an exercise therapist at a gym to get what you need. Rehabilitation plans depend on you and how badly you were hurt and where.
