I have had a sprained ankle and it hurts like hell, but if you really want to here are three things you can do:
1.) You can put on some high heels and step off of an office chair and tilt one ankle to the side
2.) You can sit on a chair or couch and tilt your foot to the side and stand up
3.) You can get some high heels on and get 5-10 small balls (tennis or racket)
and jump around until you cant jump anymore
An ankle sprain
The most common type is the inversion ankle sprain, in which the ankle rolls over on the outside.
It is generally easier to sprain your ankle than to break it. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments, while a break is a fracture in the bone. The recovery time and treatment for a sprain are typically less extensive than for a break.
You will sprain your ankle.
It's a sprain in the upper ligament of your ankle. These are usually much more painful and take longer to heal. (I had one about 2 months ago and they suck). The only good part is that with a high ankle sprain there is less of a chance of recurring problems as compared to a low ankle sprain aka. regular sprain.
Yes. The amount of swelling depends on several things, such as how bad the sprain is, how strong your ankle is, whether this is your first sprain, and how fast you get ice and compression on it.

Normal anatomyThe ankle joint connects the foot with the leg. The ankle joint allows the foot to move upward and downward and in an inward and outward motion. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments surround the ankle providing the stability the ankle joint needs for walking and running.Type I ankle sprainThe most common way the ankle can be injured is by an ankle sprain. When an ankle is sprained ligaments on the ankle are either stretched, partially torn or completely torn. The most common type of sprain is an inversion injury, where the foot is rotated inward. Ankle sprains can range from mild, to moderate, and severe. Type 1 ankle sprain is a mild sprain. It occurs when the ligaments have been stretched or torn minimally.Type II ankle sprainType II ankle sprain is a moderate level of sprain. It occurs when some of the fibers of the ligaments are torn completely.Type III ankle sprainType III ankle sprain is the most severe ankle sprain. It occurs when the entire ligament is torn and there is great instability of the ankle joint.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/01/2011Linda J.
