How to heal my ankle A.S.A.P. ?!
Question: How to heal my ankle A!.S!.A!.P!. !?
I was playing basketball, went up for a layup, came down and landed on a guy's foot and my ankle twisted out!. I couldn't walk and by the end of the day it was the size of a small balloon!. I iced it and elevated it and when the swelling didn't go down I went and had it x-rayed!. Nothing broken but now I'm on crutches and can't do much!. It happened on my left ankle on the bone on the side of my leg!.
This happened the day before a really big swim meet and I need to recover as fast as possible so I can get back to competing!. Any other advice besides the R!.I!.C!.E!. method!? The same thing happened to me on my other foot and I just finished recovering and now this!. Last time it took me about 4 weeks before I could even walk normally again and even longer before i could run and jump!. Any advice would be appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
The fastest way I know is to find an osteopath or chiropractor who specializes in correcting ankles!. That can reduce your healing time from 4-6 weeks to 2-4 weeks!. Sorry, but the damage has already been done and it takes at least 2-3 weeks for tissues to heal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
