bum ankle..... Sprain , what to do?!


Question: Bum ankle..... Sprain , what to do?
I had a bad fall off my horse back in December, and I sprained my ankle. It was swollen for 2 weeks, and now it hurts to do certain things on it like putting my full weight on it for long or getting up from a crouch. When I am walking I also twist it (my ankle turns out) occasionally.
What to do?

A ankle sprain should heal fully within a month, Apply some ice, and alot of rest. If it twists, you might want to go to an Orthopedic and see whats up with the ankle.

An ankle sprain in december should be healed by now if you allowed it to heal completely. if you kept doing things on it (which it sounds like you did) it will still hurt and no matter what when you sprain your ankle it will be more susceptible to injury again (turning in when you walk) I would buy a small brace so that when you walk it takes a little pressure off and makes it a little immobile but not completely so it doesn't get weak

experience (multiple times)



Hey..u must have to consult with good podiatrist..Still i can suggest you some treatment options which will help you to reduce pain..Wrap ice cubes, or a bag of frozen peas or corn, in a thin towel and put it on your skin.To prevent further swelling, you may need to keep your ankle wrapped in an elastic bandage or stocking. Also your doctor suggest you some physical therapy. Go through this site...you will get more help..
