How can you heal a sprained ankle really quickly?

Answer 1

A sprained ankle needs to be "rested". You can elevate it on a pillow and apply ice (20 minutes on... 20 minutes off) to reduce swelling. If given crutches, USE them. Stay off your foot until the time your doctor says and definitely as long as there is pain or swelling. You can resume walking as you are able to bear weight-- usually within a couple weeks.

Take care with strenuous activities or if walking in snow/ice or up/down stairs. Also take care with twisting motions, such as turning corners.

If you follow your doctor's orders, you'll be back on your feet in no time.

Answer 2

Ice it for the first day to reduce inflammation and then start applying heat/ warm baths to improve circulation.

Elevate it initially to reduce swelling.

Wrap it for support and to keep swelling down.

Rest it until feeling better.

Gently move the ankle around to help preserve motion. Some say to write the letters of the alphabet with your toes in the air.

Take anti-inflamatories such as Motrin/ Advil/ ibuprofen and Aleve.

Answer 3

Keep it stabilized, keep weight off the ankle and get enough rest. Plan on two months or so, you can lengthen this, but not much can shorten it.
