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?

i sprained my ankle a year or so ago, and didn't go and get it checked out, i sort of regret it now because my ankle is still weak and i have damaged it a couple of times since, maybe if i had gone when i first picked up the injury i'd have been given a full recovery program and not have had so much pain since! Good luck any way

Go to A+E for an x-ray, it could be fractured (doubtful because you wouldn't be able to sit down and ask this question as it hurts too much). Could be ligament damage..still very painful or a bad sprain.
Elevate the limb and put ice on it to reduce the swelling, keep it moving too.

Not sure, my partner is always getting injured at football and never goes to the Hospital blaming all on muscular pains or maybe sprains.
Its probably a sprain but I would have it checked out, also try something cold on the area if its swollen. If its agony, I would nip to your local A&E, not worth suffering when they will be able to sort the problem straight away.

Good Luck and Merry Christmas x

A Dr. told me if it instantly swells up, it is broke. If it took a while to swell it is probably a sprain, but you still should have it checked. I walked (painfully) on a broken ankle, because everyone told me I had only sprained it.

Go see your doctor, I surprised the school didn't send you since it happen while playing sports. Its not going to get better till you have it checked.
