Sprained ankle healing but is this normal?!

Sprained ankle healing but is this normal?

I sprained my ankle last saturday. I did the Rest, ice, compression, elevation treatment for the first few days. Then on wednesday I did some walking. That night I rolled around in bed for 5 hours bc I was in pain. It wan't an excrutiating pain, just a mild throbbing and very annoying pain. It felt better during the day and I walked around a little. Last night I had a repeat of wednesday night.

So after 2 relatively sleepless nights I am in a terrible mood. I know its healing bc the swelling has gone down, the bruising has already shown itself and is slowly dissipating, and I can walk aroudn it with minimal pain.

Is this pain I'm experiencing normal?

Dr. can't see me until monday. I dont know if I can go without sleep for that long.

Yes,what you are describing is normal.

Since the doctor can't see you until Monday,keep up with the RICE treatment.Don't push yourself to walk because it is causing pain,and possibly more damage.

Also,you should be taking ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling,and if that's not enough,take Tylenol also.
