sucks to hear that :frown:

yup ice it down, but dun keep it on there for more than 15-20 mins, it's bad for yer skin.. taking advil should help, and keep it elevated, and keep off of that foot.

after it gets all nice and better, go get yourself an ankle brace, yea it sucks to wear one, but better than going through what yer going through again.. again, sorry to hear that.

BTW, if your ankle is not twice its normal size, how big/small is it?

RICE:

Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevation

ALWAYS ICE. take breaks, but do it all day long. and make sure you keep it elevated.
