  1. Call one of your friends and family now if you are in a lot of pain to take u 2 ER. If you can't walk, it cood be a grade 3 sprain. Good luck !

  2. RICE it....rest ice compress elevate...take some advil and wait. It will swell and probly turn black/blue, you will be fine in a couple days.When you can do some stregthening excercises like calf raises etc. to get the stregnth back and you will be back to normal. Try getting a towel and using resistance to get your stregnth back too. good luck

  3. You should just elevate it and put ice on it. Also wrap it to give it extra support. you should wait and if it gets worse than go to like a walk in clinic or your doctor. But don't do anything rough like go run play sports. take it easy for at least 2-3 days and if it gets worse than go to the doctors.

  6. This happened to me before. Call a friend and let them know that you need some help. Get some ice, keep the foot elevated and expect to be out of commission for at least 6 days. You will need help.
