I sprained my ankle too 3 days ago.
I went to the doctor.
It needs AT LEAST 10 days of Immobility/Ice Therapy and if possible, Sea therapy .
Every hour placing ice packs for 10 minutes at the swollen area.
You will see that in 5-6 days you will feel well but you still need to let it rest.
Keep using it and you will end up unable to use that foot for 8 months like my friend.

I Sprained my ankle last Saturday skating.
It was really swollen, it was like a baseball growing out of my ankle.
