sprained ankle not swollen Posted: 12-23-07 14:50pm


Yesterday morning, I went to sparring class at my karate studio. After the class was over, I realized that my ankle was hurting, but I could still walk on it. Later in the day, I practiced katas at the studio for about an hour ( stupid, I know), and when it was over my ankle hurt worse. By the end of the day, I couldn't stand on that foot at all. There wasn't swelling or anything, it just hurt. So for the night while I slept, I kept my foot elevated, and by morning it felt a little better. I haven't been walking on it at all though, and I've wrapped it up and kept it elevated. So now my question is, am I doing the right thing? Is the ankle sprained ? And how long do you think it'll take to heal?

it is not possible for me to say how long it will take to heal if you have torn or strained some of your ankle ligaments you are doing the right thing by resting it though iceing it would be good to you should not exersice on it until it has completely healed
