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.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
