Any way to quickly recover from them? Or is it just an ice and rest and wait thing? Just sprained mine but I can't really afford to miss much work.

I recently had a grade 2 sprain, first time I had done it. Didn't walk on it much for the first few days just rest ice compress and elevate for the first 48 hours. After about 5 days I was walking around pretty freely but up and down stairs was real uncomfortable. With daily stretching and keeping it moving after 4 weeks I could run again on a treadmill but not on uneven ground but the ankle was still sore to touch. Its now 3 months later and I am about 95% and it is not sore to touch. I got an ankle wrap that helped with walking in the first two weeks. Still worked throughout just kept my foot up for the first week.

I recently fukked my shyt up balling. Went up for a block and came down on someone’s foot. I knew it wasn’t a regular roll because it tightened up immediately. After it happened I had to walk to my car, which was a bytch. Had to step up and down to go over things. My dumbass continued to walk on it when I got home. The first 12 hours were a bytch.

I don’t have any pain when I’m resting, but if I try moving it a certain direction I feel it, or if I put weight on it. Feel so useless because I gotta move around in a Rollie chair and mom has to help me out with things. Poor woman already has her hands full with my grandma. Her right hand man is down. :to:

Going to urgent care today to get it checked. shyt is bruised nasty and the swelling has me fearing the worse. :sadcam:

I hope it isn’t fractured or has any serious ligament damage. I’m done balling for a year or so. I love bball too. :mjcry:
