Im not into prescription drugs. I was looking for something more guided towards muscle cream or something to ease the pain, it's still swollen quite a bit but it went down a little. Im going to go to the doc tomorrow, thanks for the help.

Help you out N/W? Im confused....

Thanks

get a bucket, add hot water with salt.. put your ankle in for a while...
get well

get use to the feeling cuz your gonna fuck it up a lot more from now on!

Elevate it so some of the fluid can drain down into your system. Yeah and avoid salt, that's just water retention right there. creams dont work man, I had a bunch myself. Just smoke out, drop some advil and get off your feet until you're better.

 

[Mr. Samos]

Thanks for the tips I'll definetly try them out. I was doing that elevating the foot one last night, above my heart level, it works good, still couldn't sleep though until I popped some Advil, shit worked well too, thanks again, appreciate it.

I wouldn't smoke shit. It'll feel like your heartbeat is pounding through your ankle. Bud is good for overall soreness and nausea, but will make acute pain worse.

you can get the "cream" at BALCO. You get 50% off if you purchase it with the "clear"

exactly what i was thinking

Icy hot will help mask the pain as will Bengay but its only a going to last for a while, they have patches now you can put on that work a little better. If you had discoloration after you might have tore something so be carefull. Also when you are going to hobble around make sure you wrap it up with an ace bandage or ankle support. Ice is always good as is Ibuprofin as already stated. Most important thing is to give it time to heal.

Yeah the wrap works great.

Thanks for the tips, my foot is actually healing really quick so I'm glad it was only a sprain.

E= elavate

 

[Mr. Samos]

E= elavate

There we go,

Rest Immobilize Compress & Elevate

This is what I have followed naturally, and it works great, expecially the compression part. It really depends on the injury though.
