Question: I sprained my ankle and it hurts bad what can i do?
Answers:
Raise your foot when resting above your heart (reduce swelling) use ice (in a bag or if you have like a gel bag thing what you just put in the fridge use that and whenever you're walking or getting about you need to use a ankle support. Hope this helps :) try to rest it as much as possible . if it still hurts go to the doctor or a chiropractor.
personal experience
Give it time to heal...alternate hot and cold compress...just 2 bowls of water a couple of flannels and a towel....as warm as you can and hold till it becomes tepid...then the cold one, till it feels comfortable and over again...maybe 3 of each. It will get your blood circulating and speed up the healing process. And it always feels good to be doing something to help.
Wrap it tightly with an ace bandage. Keep it elevated to avoid swelling. Don't stand on it or apply pressure.
you must instantly go to the doctor, before going, put an ice pack and keep massaging it
