fckin twisted my ankle comin out of a store two or so days ago.
its not bruised, and this is definitely not the first time i been hurt, but it’s still sore although i cant spot any swelling.
i can walk on it, its like an occasional pain, throbbing and dull.
so what do i do? insurance is a bitch so seein a doctor has got to be a last resort.
anyone help?
It can take a few days for pain to settle after twisting an ankle. Standard treatment for sprained ankles should offer some relief even if you can’t see any swelling. There could be bruising that hasn’t come to the surface yet.
Rest- Try not to walk too much
Ice- Apply ice packs (but don’t put ice in direct contact with skin)
Compression – Bandage it for support but don’t bandage too tightly and take them off when you go to bed.
Elevation – Prop it up as often as you can to take the weight off. Above the level of the heart is best but any elevation is better than putting weight on it
If you want to try to bring the bruising out alternate the ice packs with bathing the ankle in hot (not scalding hot) water.
A few years ago Tim Duncan went down with an ankle injury in the playoff series against the Celtics. The Boston fans cheered when they saw he was injured and booed him as he got up and finished the game. Does anyone remember what year that was? Or have a video? Thanks

I have a permanent ankle injury from football, so running type of cardio is out of the question. Im trying to burn a fair amount of fat, which has accumulated over the years cause of my extremely sluggish metabolism. Any suggestions for things that will work for burning fat quickly?

It seems I always injure the SAME ankle. This time I think I know the cause. I was playing basketball, then I went to go for a rebound. I remember only jumping with one feet. Maybe thats the cause? Also would I jump higher and have more balance jumping with both?
You need a Zoom Ankle. All the pros are now wearing the Zoom Ankle because of this cool soft shell technology it has. www.zoomankle.com
I had always thought that Shannon Brown will be a factor coming off the bench beides Farmar & Odom in this series
no I don’t think that the Lakers need him for the first round but I do think that the Lakers will deffenitly need him for the second and thrid round as well and also for the NBA finals should that Lakers team get that far.

I would use alot of tape and I would try to use ankle weights during practice and that might be able to make you jump higher. Thanks for the question
I sprained my ankle playing basketball in October. I took some time off and did therapy n what not. I played the entire basketball season with some pain there though. I constantly stretched and did exercises for it but nothing helps. does anybody know what else I could do to get rid of it? cause i still wear an ankle brace to play but it gets annoying. Thank you

I was playing soccer, i jumped to get the ball. Went back down landed on one foot right, the other i rolled it
in three days it wont be healed. u could probably tape it up to play on it if its not too bad. go to the doctor
I went over my ankle + foot playing tag rugby nearly two weeks ago, the doctor put me in a cast meant for 3 weeks and he wasn’t sure whether it was broken, but a week later I was experiencing cramps and pain in my foot so I went back and was given a walking boot.
I want to enter a dance competition on 29th April (6 weeks after my injury) but I don’t want to make my ankle worse or injure it again..
Does anyone know if I could? xxx
I really don’t think it is a good idea, but the best person to ask is your doctor.
He/she will have more information about your actual injury.
I rolled my ankle last night. I iced and elevated it and it never swelled. There is no discoloration and very little pain, it is more stiff. I’ve kept it wrapped and made it through work okay. If there is no discoloration or swelling does that mean it can’t be a sprain or strain?
It’s most likely just a muscle strain. You are doing the right things by icing it and elevated it. To fix the stiffness try doing stretches with your ankle like rotating it both left and right. Then take a towel and wrap it around your foot and pull. You should feel a pull, but it shouldn’t hurt.
Both of these stretches have helped tremendously for all of my countless ankle sprains and strains! Hope it feels better! =]
