Question:

What can help my sprained ankle, besides staying off of it?

It has been a week, I have tried to stay off of it all week but my job has me up a lot. I keep it elevated when I can. I need something good for my ankle, please HELP!


Answers:

first of all you want to have it wrapped up, and i literally mean up. when you wrap it you want to start from the bottom of your foot and wrap it up to the top, doing so will help prevent sweling. also staying off of it, if you absolutely have to walk on it than step straight on it not sideways will help it heal properly, oh and don't wear high heels. ice it when you have it elevated, will help with the pain and to heal faster. other than that there's not much that you really can do.
