ankle
i rolled my left ankle and it sort of hurts. I can walk on it, but it hurts when i turn my ankle in. I'm positive i didn't break anything or fracture it because it just feels a little sore. So i was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to make it heal pretty quickly because cross country starts soon and i don't want it to bother me. thanks =]

Well, theres a chance that you might have to skip a few cross country runs and let it rest.
Basically just do what everyone else has told you, keep off it, elevate it, and put ice on it.
I found that wrapping a tensor bandage on it will help with the pain when your walking too.
Hope this helps!

I've had my ankle rolled pretty badly once, and I know what i tell you will work for sure.
1) Try not to engage in ANY physical activity.
2) Sit/lie down and keep you ankle on elevation. Try to keep your ankle at an elevation above your heart. (your leg would be stretched out, o.k.? Use a pile of cushions or pillows, etc.)
3) Put an ice pack on your ankle. The maximum time the ice pack should be on the ankle is 10 min. So keep it on 10 min., take it off for a few min., then put the pack back on.
Hope you feel well soon. :)

follow the R.I.C.E rules. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. dont walk on it! try to stay off of it for a while. then slowly start to turn your ankle around, if it hurts, stop immediatly. do that a couple of times a day and pretty soon it should be healed.
I hope I helped!

get it checked out, elevate it, ice it, & try staying off it. i did that to my left ankle too [weird right] in either june/july. i didn't get it checked out. its still really sore, hurts, swollen, discolored, etc. you do not want that to happen. i'd suggest getting an ace bandage or something for the mean time when you do xc if you don't get it checked. i really suggest you do though.
-hope that helped!♥
