Sprained ankle questions?

Hello. 6 days ago i sprained my ankle playing soccer, immediately after i iced it and elevated it, used crutches the next day, and continued icing it and elevating it. i wore a brace without cruthces after the second day. By day 4 the pain had stopped, i continue to ice it and i do some exercises now.

but there is significant brusing right above where my brace ends, and some swelling is still there.

i was wondering if you think, a week after, im ready for light jogging or some other exercises, i really need to get back on the soccer field asap.

    Sprained ankles can be no joke. You should definitely take it slow. I know from experience that if you rush the healing process it can mess you up for longer. I too was playing soccer and I sprained my ankle, it didn't seem that bad but 6 months later I had to have surgery on it. I would go to the doctor and have it checked it, just to make sure.
