Answers:
Follow the RICE method
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate
Get crutches or something so you don't have to walk on your foot!. Rest it as much as possible!. Ice it as often as possible to help the swelling go down!. Compress it with some type of wrap or a splint which will also help the swelling go down and it will keep your ankle from twisting or turning so the ligaments can heal faster!. And elevate your foot!. When you sleep or are sitting, put your leg up so that it is at a level higher than your heart!. This will slow the blood flow to the area and will stop it from the inflammation!. Take Motrin, Tylenol, or Advil for pain-relief!. But the main thing is to rest it!. You don't want to re-injure it while it is already injured!. Let it heal completely before you try to do any type of strenuous activity, or even walk on it!.
If it is very bruised and hurts too much still after a couple more days, you may want to check with your doctor again to make sure it is not a broken ankle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you don't rest your body your body will rest you !.
My suggestion is you rest maybe by the time you want to do stuff later this week you will be able to!. The body has to heal !. Pain killers are best when used during "resting" pain!.Let your body get out of the protected mode!. Then you can do the things you need to do!. If not this could come back and bite you in the bottom later on in life!. take care of it now,so you wont have to worry about it later!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
