First sprain that didn't go away overnight. Swelling is minor so is the pain. Some difficulty walking but I can put all of my weight on it no problem. Any advice to expedite the recovery? I didn't go to the doctors because they will just tell me to RICE and fug me with the bill. Pretty sure its a grade 1 sprain.

if it's the first sprain that didn't go away overnight you've never sprained anything before!

I sprained my ankle last month it took me about 9 or 10 days before I could play basketball again

I'm with Doc on this one. Sprains of any grade don't go away over night so I think you have twisted something but never sprained it. I have broken my feet 5 times and have sprained them at least twice that many times. I can assure you that a sprained foot hurts way worse than any break I have had and that includes one compound fracture where the bone not only broke through my skin but also the shoe I was wearing. Even a grade 1 sprain takes at least 2-3 weeks to recover from and the swelling is usually very bad.

Get an ACE support wrap that laces, wear a thick pair of shoes or boots.

Take Tylenol, or something a lot like it, and drink an energy drink.

 

This...and here's is something every athlete should have in his/her bag

 

http://www.amazon.com/ASO-Ankle-Stabilizing-Orthosis-Medium/dp/B000TGUN7A/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1384789599&sr=8-9&keywords=ankle+support+brace

 

It's an ASO brace...not ACE.  Try to stay off of it, but if you have to stay on it use the brace.  Pick one up at any local medical supply place...not Walmart brand.  Don't think they sell ASO brand.  Twice I've been to orthopaedics next morning after having being slid into playing baseball/softball.  One time I just knew I'd broken something.  Everything popped and I didn't take my high top cleats off until I got home.  Went by Walmart and got some wraps...etc.  Unlaced my shoe and my ankle swole up like a cantelope.  At THAT point...ice it and elevate.  Beyond that...try to stay off of it.  Both cases I tore all ligaments in my ankle.  Last time I had to borrow crutches because I couldn't put weight on the foot. 

 

Broke wrist once (scaphoid) and swear the sprains have been 10 times more painful.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
