Sports injury. HELP!?!
Question: Sports injury. HELP!?
a week ago i kicked an over inflated soccer ball wrong and my ankle swelled up. Now it still really hurts and has a big bump on the spot where i hit it, i have been putting ice on it all week and that hasn't been helping much. I am a football player so i don't know much about ankle injuries. Should i keep icing it or apply heat or take some pills or what? I really want it to be better as fast as possible.
thank you =)

Answers:
RICE, my friend.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
That and a healthy dose of ibuprofen should do the trick. If it doesn't I would definitely see someone right away. Try to stay off it though, and you should be fine.
