Ice to stop the initial swelling and heat the rest of the time to accelerate the healing!. Nothing you can do in such short time, just make sure you have lots of support: ace bandage, foot brace, high top shoes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Im sorry to tell you but you wont be able to play softball!. Your ankle needs some rest otherwise you will have to struggle with it for a longer time!. If you want, and if you are mentally tough, buy an ankle brace and play sofball with your ankle compressed!. Also, Ice it 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off, and so on!.!.!.!. Try elevating it, so the blood flow moves away from your ankle and the swelling goes down!. I hope this helps you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i know you wanna play in your game tomorrow, but there is a chance you strained or sprained something!. see a doc!. i sprained my ankle while training for a marathon, and continuing to run led to irreversible damage!. take care of yourself so you can play sports for a long time to come!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
probably best not to play tomorrow and stay off of it, but if you really want to play and risk the need of surgery, were high topped boots that go over your ankle and lace them very tightly, I did the same thing before it works but my ankle pops and grinds nowWww@Answer-Health@Com
Keep Icing It, And Keep It Above Your Heart- Lie On Your Back And Rest It On A Chair So Your Ankle Is Above Your Chest!. Then Strap It Or Use A Compression Bandage!.
