how can i heal a twisted ankle?

Answer 1

A twisted ankle hurts, but it's not too serious of an injury. However, when not taken care of, it can become serious. Here's what to do.

1. Wrap the ankle in a piece of long soft cloth, or go to the grocery store and in the medical supply aisle you should find material for wrapping it in. Ask a helper to help you find it.
2. Take Ibuprofen (AKA Advil, Motrin) so it takes the swelling down.
3. Ice it. It will help with pain and take swelling down.
4. Keep walking. If you limp or choose to not walk at all, the ankle will swell and become stiff. Ouch! Walking keeps blood flowing and will help it heal. it may be a little painful for a whle, but you should be ok. And make sure you wear comfortable tennis shoes-no high heels.

If it doesn't feel any better in 3-4 days, go see a doctor!

The best thing you can do is ice it for 20 minutes, 2 times a day. Ice helps take any inflamation down inside your ankle. If it raelly hurts, wrap it in a tenser bandage. Stay off your feet as much as possible for a day or so. If it still keeps hurting, go see a doctor to make sure you didn't brake/sprain anything. Hopefully this helps! Oh and whatever you do, DO NOT HEAT IT! Heat causes more inflamation and it will just hurt/throb more!

Answer 3

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

(RICE)

Rest and put your ankle up on some pillows. Preferably make it higher than your heart, particularly if you are lying down.

Apply ice - some form of cold pack - to the ankle

Compression with an elasticated bandage (or even a normal crepe bandage will do). You can purchase ankle strapping devices from chemists these days.

Elevation - put the ankle up to prevent swelling

Pain relief (paracetamol/acetaminophen)

Gradual return to mobility

Answer 4

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?
