In the first quarter i was tripped and i heart my ankle as i was GS i decided to keep playing coz noone on my team can play it but me. I am now home and it is still REALLY sore!!!! What should i do?!

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If it is swollen, elevate your foot on some pillows and ice the area for 10 minutes (no longer). You can ice it 3 or 4 times throughout the day.

If it hurts to put any pressure on your foot, use crutches to get about and see your doctor.

As well, put up your foot as often as possible to rest it.

Answer 2

It is probably sprained, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation... if it does not get better in a few days, see your PCP
