Sprained my ankle a couple months ago?

Question

i sprained my ankle in june. unfortunately, i didn't get it checked out until august. the doctor said i just had to take motrin and it would go away. i have been taking motrin, but my ankle still has swelling. is there something else i should be doing or will it never heal?

Answer 1

I would let your body heal it naturally because when you use medicine it does almost always swell up your leg. Medicine teaches your body to not fight off the sprain/infection. I would advise getting a cast to cover up your ankle so that nothing happens to it.  

Answer 2

crutches

Answer 3

i had the same problem... i actually sprained it 3 times in 1 week.... anyways i didnt go c the doctor and it seems fine... the swelling is gone and its as good as the other one... it might heal faster if you didnt play as much sports or as the other girl said crutches
