What should I do about my swollen ankle, aside from ice it?

Question

Fell down the stairs this morning and hurt my ankle. I iced it for about 15 minutes but I've been busy so I've had to walk on it a lot. What should I do about it?

Answer

R.I.C.E
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate

Answer

It will heal faster if you treat it normally and use it. It will just get swollen and hurt more if you don’t use it.

Answer

You need to keep it up. Put a cushion under it and sit on the sofa or lay on the bed. Putting weight on it will cause more damage.

Answer

It does need circulation. In addition to what the other person said i would suggest rubbing it. Focusing on pushing blood flow towards the heart.

Answer

The thing is, it feels better when I put weight on it, as long as a don't bend it a certain way.
