I jumped in the pool in the shallow side and I guess I twisted it or sprained it. I went to the doctor and she bandaged it and now I have crutches. Does anyone have any tips for it to heal faster? I have to go to school on Monday so.... Thanks.

There is this reallly good ankle brace that u can buy at cvs. The brand is futuro I think and it's great! It definatly helped my ankle heal faster when I sprained it. Also take ibuprofen or advil every couple of hours. Never sleep in a brace. Ice it and elevate it and rest!! I hope this helps!

RICE-
Rest
Ice
Compression
ElevationTry not to walk on it, get something cold to put on it, keep the bandage on and keep it high to reduce swelling. That's the best thing you can do for it. Then it's up to your body to do the rest!
Hope it gets better :-)Posted 2 years ago # -
There is nothing you can do to "make" it heal faster. Unfortunately it's off to school and any where else for you on Monday. Stop worrying about making it heal faster. Do EXACTLY what the doctor and your parents tell you to do and your ankle will heal properly. I did not when I was your age and am paying the price for it even now.
I hope this helps you and I also hope your ankle heals properly.Posted 2 years ago # -
keep it elevated, keep ice on it, and don't walk on it. the more you walk on it the more it will hurt and then it will take longer to heal. If you do this you should be fine.

Ice it, and rest it. Once it starts to heal, do very moderate exercise (ask your doctor the right ones to do) and keep on iceing it and resting it, along with the moderate exercise for a couple of weeks.
Hope This Helps!!!!!
