    Katherine, there is no way you're able to compete! while you at the instant cannot bear the completed bodyweight on the ankle you have sustained adequate of an injury. to attempt to compete could be inquiring for the opportunity of much extra injuries. Get the ankle examined. bring up it, wrap it with an elastic bandage to decrease the quantity of return swelling, and use crutches to stay off it. i did not say to apply ice for the latest analyze tutor that ice retards or delays the therapeutic technique. In an afternoon or so use heat compresses yet not warm ones as those will honestly advance the wear of the wear.

    I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

    So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

    Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

    A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

    Heal your ankle fully & fast?

    Limit walking to the minimum.

    give support with a crepe-bandage while awake.

    use a NSAID,ideally a diclofenac tablet along with an enzyme-tablet, Bidanzen forte or Chymoral forte to reduce swelling, faster.

    Hot fomentation with hot salt-water solution after 24 hrs, only.

    lightly wrap an ACE bandage around the sprain to keep the swelling down, then get up and move around as normal, take a painkiller as necessary

    First Ensure that you do not have a severe soft tissue injury. Put up Elastic Crepe Bandages, do not use high heel,s.
