Just a little Question?

Recently had a bad ankle sprain and tore ligaments in my foot and ankle. Is there anything I can do to speed up healing?

get a hammer and hit your ankle as hard as you can...

If it's still swollen, which it probably is. You can put an icepack on there for 10 minutes at a time, do that 2-3 times a day. Also lift your foot higher than heart level for 15 minutes at a time, do that atleast twice a day.

Those are if there is some swelling.


Also don't try and train with it, i had a sprained ankle last april and it took me until june to fully heal, i guess it's because i didn't let it heal properly before going back to training.

I did the same thing. I started training again without letting it fully heal first. It was a mistake but it eventually healed as I took it slow and stopped for a bit. I think when I did start training too early it made my ankle swollen, that or it was swollen before but it took me a while to notice it.

To the thread starter, so from my experience I say let the injury heal fully first before you start training again.

RICE- Rest Ice Compression and Elevation.

While you don't want to do anything to further strain the ligaments by putting weight on the joint, you do want to maintain range of motion, strength, and prevent scar tissue from building up.

Try tracing the letters of the alphabet with your toes in the air or while submerged in water. Be sure to ice after each tracing session to keep down swelling.
