Answers:
stay off of it if at all possible!. Ice it every 2-3 hours, and if you have a heating pad use that about 10 minutes after you iced it!. If you don't have a heating pad then don't worry about it, all it does is relax the muscle!. Don't worry so much about pain killers, or at least really strong ones like Viciden or mobic, cause one tends to!.!.!.cause more damage to themselves while on strong pain killers because they numb the pain so much it doesn't hurt to walk on anymore!. Then when it wears off it hurts twice as bad!. It should heal it's self in time but it'll take a couple of days for you to start to feel a difference!. hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you probably need to do some strengthening exercises for your ankle to not sprain so easily!. Rest it as much as possible, elevate it, take some ibuprofen to help bring down the swelling and for pain!. Ice and actipatch are also good!. Actipatch is an OTC device in Canada for swelling and bruising- you can probably get it on the web, I don't think it is very expensive!. You must have really given it a good twist to be so painful still!. If it doesn't get better or improve some, go see a doctor again- you could try an urgent care, the bill should not be as bad as the E!.R!. No health insurance bites!.!.!.I am in the same boat!. Hope it feels better soon!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
