use ice for swelling, keep it elavated as much as possible , do not wrap it or put on shoes for a couple days. when its starts feeling better try walking barefoot to help streghten the ankle and foot muscles. going barefoot will help the ankle and foot heal faster it also helps your balance and dexterity. i use to sprain my ankles alot untill my foot doctor told me to go barefoot and since i have i havent had an ankle injury in years. plus i found going barefoot feels better then shoes and socks.i think if you start going barefoot you will agree.
