  • Ankle sprains happen when the foot twists, rolls or turns beyond its normal motions. The amount of pain depends on the amount of stretching and tearing of the ligament. Rest your ankle by not walking on it. Ice should be immediately applied. It keeps the swelling down. It can be used for 20 minutes to 30 minutes, three or four times daily. Combine ice with wrapping to decrease swelling, pain and dysfunction. Compression dressings, bandages or ace-wraps immobilize and support the injured ankle. Elevate your ankle above your heart level for 48 hours. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be used to control pain and inflammation.
