Hey! My doc told me to RICE when i spanged mine. R-rest it I-Ice it regularly C-Compression sounds like the wrap will take care of that and E-elevation try to keep it elevated...maybe sit in a recliner chair or sumthing like that! Hope it helps and hope you feel better!

try a heating pad thing! it prolly wont work b/c it is for relaxing mussles but hey it will feel really good! or you could sit in a jacuzzi or spa or just a warm bath or shower!
hope i helped!

If you didn't immediately ice it, you might have damaged it a bit more. All you can do is: Once a day, for 20 minutes, ice it and then put heat on it for 5, then re-ice. And try not to over-dose on pain killers! :)

It's going to hurt for awhile. Keep off of it as much as possible. Take your med and everything else you are doing. It just takes time. Feel better! :)

You really need to see a doctor about it. You could need to do more than just ice and painkillers. Ice is your friend. Elevating your foot is a good idea too.

if it still hurts as bad in the morning with no improvment because a sprain does take a long time to heal go to a doctor and get an xray you may have torn something

it depends on what kind of pain killers you took. some work better than others. i'd say take something with ib profin(sp?) that helps me. hope you feel better soon.
