Anyone know any remedies/techniques that will help it heal faster?

I sprained it on Saturday in an AAU basketball tournament game... I go up for the jump shot and this dude on the other team sticks his leg under my foot and wham I land on his foot and roll my ankle.

I was out for the rest of the game and missed the other game in our tourney.

ALSO, my workout schedule for improving my hops is delayed...

Wow, this sucks.

I can hardly put any weight on it without it hurting, and can hardly walk.

Any help? Anyone else ever experience any broken bones/sprains or ligament/tendon tears?

Sprained Ankle heals - less than 10 days

Sprained ankles can heal in 7-10 days, but most doctors will tell you that it takes 4-6 weeks. Of course, this all depends on how severe the sprain is.

The 4-6 week time period is the taking the most conservative approach which is basically not doing anything other than letting nature take its course.

If a person wants to accelerate the rehab process there are proven methods available to do that which reduce healing time to 7-10 days.

The methods involve reducing swelling in the injured ankle fast by immersion in ice water bath followed by movement. Once the swelling has gone down, then strengthening of the ankle can begin using any one of several recognized rehab techniques.

It is recommended that during the rehab process, everybody should wear a lace up ankle brace to prevent further injury and provide peace of mind.

Protection of the injured ankle can be increased even more by taping first and then adding a lace up ankle brace.

A search for ankle taping video on any of the major search engines should give you specific instructions about how to tape a sprained ankle.

Found this on google, hope it helps

My mom always tells me to "Walk it off" I do not recommend this approach though, it does NOT help.

Wow when I sprained mine it was just like yours..
But I was playing football and jumped for a header.. When I landed... Shit...
I was like 11 years old...
I think I just immobilized it... And I took homeopathy...
I immobilized it for 2 weeks I think.. And then I had to stay a week without playing football..
In the fifth day I played... And sprained it again..
So take care..
It's something really boring to heal compared to normal fractures in my opinion (:

Walk through the pain.

Sprained ankles hurt about as much as a person lightly flicking a bruise. Which doesn't hurt that much.

Yeah i've done the same thing but i was playing football so i just wrapped it up with some bandages and put some ice packs on it. Also i rubbed it alot and it seemed to help.

No shit, man. The other day I got hit by a ****ing semi truck. Mutha****in shit was radical. I was like shit this doesn't even hurt so I shoved broken glass into my feet and ran home through the snow. When I got home I beat the shit out of my legs with a frying pan while I videotaped it so I could post it on YouTube because everyone on the internet gives a shit about how manly I am.

No big deal.

Ice it on an off for 20 minutes at a time.

Keep it elevated.

Wear the brace tight around the ankle so it gives it better support.

I iced mine for the first day after I sprained it, kept it elevated, didn't walk on it, and was off of crutches and walking on it within a week.
