rabid hamster Posted May 31, 2002 Posted May 31, 2002 I sprained my ankle yesterday night while i was taking a walk with my dog.. does anyone know any ways I can heal it fast? If I sit down i'm okay, but when i try to walk, i have to limp and even than it hurts. I have a belt test soon, too. lol, well I'm lucky this is my first sprained ankle in 13 years.. to bad it just had to happen at this time. so any advice on what to do would be great! thanks It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.
Iron Arahat Posted May 31, 2002 Posted May 31, 2002 There a varying degrees of sprains that occur. You should go to your doctor, and ask him to show how to tape your ankle for stability when training for the first while. Take some time off your feet, it will heal faster that way. It will also insure that the tissue heals well. As you get better balance on one leg and if possible do it on a balance board, it will help strengthen the joint. Don't rush to get right back in take at least two weeks off class, and listen to your body. It will take 6-8 weeks to feel 100%. Sorry man, I've been there and its hard to sit around, but take my advice...take it easy.
