Yesterday at my soccer game I spraned my damn angle really bad. I have never seen a body part puff up in this maner. it looked like there was a rock in the side of my angle. Anyway, i think that my senior soccer season might be over, and we where going to go to playoffs, DAMNIT, I better get better. Please wish me luck

ICE ICE baby - Ice that mofo down and you may have a chance. Tape it up good and you may be able to run - I doubt it tho.

go find yourself a good acupunture guy..... don't know if you got one around. i sprained mine really bad and it was swollen for a couple weeks. i could hardly walk. decided to go see a chinese herbalist/acupunturist. did some massaging and put and herbal pack on it. was up and walking 30 minutes after he started. amazing.....

don't only use ice.... ice and heat (to recirculate)

Man I feel your pain - remember though, 2 days on crutches w/ lots of ice and rest, even though it may sound like overkill can make a HUGE difference in your recovery time.

I rolled mine during the last indoor session so badly that I couldn't hardly put weight on it at all the next day - I couldn't really walk at all. I called off work for the day and just kicked it on the couch watchin the tube. 20 minues on, 20 minutes off with the ice for the day and I was able to play (in a lace up brace) pretty confidently in just 3 or 4 days.

The problem is that, once you do it, you tend to re-injure it frequently. Aircast is pretty secure, but I just go with the standard canvas lace up whenever I feel a little weak in the joints.

As for ice/heat - you ONLY use ice for the 1st 72 hours (for no more than 20 mins at a time) and you ONLY use heat AFTER the 1st 72 hours.
And definitely don't forget the anti-inflammitory meds - I usually go w/ ~800 mgs Ibuprofin 4 times a day for at least a few days.

can you point out where is an angle on a person?

 

[ricerx]

did you go see a doctor. I sprang my angle, I mean ankle a few years back and it was pretty bad. Had x-rays and found out it was broken. I had to wear a cast for a several weeks. If it is as bad as you say it is, go to your doc.
