You must either have very weak ankles, or you're putting too much stress on them, or both. Sometimes sprains take a long time to heal, especially if you're a very active person. You might check with a doctor who specializes in sports injuries. He may just suggest that you stay off of it for a while longer, or use an ankle brace. You may also want to get an X-ray to make sure there are no broken bones, which will take longer to heal than a sprain. I'm sorry I can't be more encouraging, especially since you have football training coming up. Perhaps a shot of cortisone might help, if it's just a simple sprain. But I really think a professional can give you a diagnosis and treatment program that will correct the problem completely. Good luck!

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?

Try a support sock for a while. Eat protein to help your body repair any damaged protein. It works for dancing injuries, so it probably will for your injury.
