K, You are doing all the right things, elevating, If u have any crutches i would use them for 2-3 days, alternate ice compresses with warm, soak ur foot and ankle in warm water a few days and stay off of it 3-4 days and it should heal after all that, Kevin thanks for the complement. I just like to help pepole with their problems. Good Luck K

I don't know! After a while when your ankle heals , I would do ankle exercises, to strengthen your ankles. Maybe use crutches for a while till your ankles get strong. I wonder if you should get your ankle xrayed or get it checked by a doctor. I would say give it a week or 2.
I would ask Rita V she is a retired Nurse , and she is very smart when it comes to problems with the body. She is one of my contacts and one of my fans. You can check there if you want and send her an email. She would be very glad to help you. So take care.
