An ankle injury is almost worse than a break. Many of the pros will actually put a sprain in a cast just as if it was broken. The problem being that the sprain partially heals and so you go out and play on it and re injure yourself. The guys that make a living on their feet can't screw around with this so they cast it for how ever long the doc says. then they can come out strong.

As far as maintenance goes use hot and cold compresses cold for 5 minutes followed by immediate hot for 5 minutes. You can do this by putting a towell in the freezer then nuke it in the micro for the heat. at least 3 times a day. Works on tennis elbow aswell.

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?

if you "sprain" your ankle so often, you should follow up with an orthopedist. don't soak the ankle. apply ice often, keep it elevated, treat with advil/alleve, and use your crutches. the only way to know it's not fractured is with an xray.
