So i sprained my ankle.

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'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

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.

    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.  
    • This makes me wish we took a flyer on Quinn Ewers late in the draft 
    • He has been a good player and clean player over the years. I don’t follow that close but think he was closing in on setting his resume for his place in the all time rankings. I am sympathetic to him becaus this will hurt him there.
