How to treat an ankle injury?
I am a dance student and in class today we began running to warm up and my foot got a sharp pain and then wen't seconds late I didn't think much of it just put it down to muscles not being warmed up. But soon as we finished the class the sensation started to come and go and now it's slightly throbbing. I think its the ligaments but I'm not to sure. The pain issn't agonising but should I keep it moving or rest it? I have a class tomorrow and don't want my tutors to think I'm coming it.
The pain is on my left foot, on the outside just below the ankle. If anyone has any tips to speed up the recovery that would be great thanks :)

It sounds like a sprain it's probably best to treat it with RICE (rest ice compression elevation

Sounds like a strain. Try to cool it and rest slightly raised. Whatever is comfortable for you. A bandage will help to support the ankle, and relieve discomfort. Accidents will happen.
