what good releive for a severe sprained ankle?!
Question:
Answers:
Elevate it, apply ice for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. Keep the ankle imobile, so wrapping with an ace bandage is good, especially if you have a splint. Crutches, too. Stay off of it.
Take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, like Aleve or Motrin.
And, if it's really severe, maybe go see a doc to make sure nothing is broken. When the fibula is broken, you can still walk on it, it just hurts.

ice and elevate it
You will need: an ace bandage, some ice, and some pillows.
Wrap your foot, put some ice in a baggie, and elevate it. The swelling should go down in a few days, and naproxen will help the pain. If you can't rotate your foot, go to the hospital immediately because you may have broken something.

had a severe sprain
sprains are worse than breaks and take longer to heal. stay off it and get some muscle relaxers. i wound up with a cast for 6 wks.
Ice it, 15 min on, 15 min off, then after two days of icing you can go 15 cold, 15 hot, and stretch it in between, keep it wrapped to prevent swelling, and ibuprofen.
Flex All..feels good! Alternate between heat and ice, and Ibuprofen takes the swelling down!
for sprains..always remember the word rice.Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation..there ya go!

ER med experience
well take a couple of aspirins,hold a bag of ice/peas on your ankle and once the swelling has gone down a bit rub some deep heat or voltaren gel on it.
spill some hot water on it n apply some pain releiving ointment n then cover it with a tight bandage n take rest. Repeat this twice a day. The pain will reduce gradually reduce n in 7 days will completely cured.
My dad has a bad ankle and it has been that way for years, the only thing to help was a magnetic brace. But you have to be careful not all magnetics are created equal. Email me if you would like to know more.
ARNICA 200 and RHUS TOX 200 three drops each in a sip of water one dose every 2 hours till you start to feel relief after that just one dose a day till fully well !
Both are Homeopathic Medicines free of harmful effects and do not have any side effects :-)
Take care and God Bless you !
I am assuming you are past the period of ice bags and elevation. Arnica montaña topically applied. Avoid the kind you swallow for a swollen ankle.
If you hear about cortisone treatments, please, please contact your physician first.
Epsom salt, sea salt and baking soda. One cup of each. Soak in tub of warm water.
Use ice, bandage, and elevate it. Stay off of the foot as much as possible. I would suggest that you see a doctor for it because something might be broken.
