Ideas about recuperating from a sprain

[Trainer Monkey]

Or to put it another way,a very wise man that I respect alot once told me,"I am a prime example of how not to play this game" when he started getting up there and getting hurt,because he wouldnt let injuries heal when he was younger.
I ignored him because I was young and stupid,so I ended it up clutching my ankle on the ground in more then one martial situation. And it only got worse every time I hurt it.Im a wee bit pigheaded,after I broke my right wrist,by having a stave of rattan smack in to it I fought left handed for a year rather then quit
I pass his words on to you,with an admonition to just have it taped first

There is nothing better than ice for the swelling and an elasticated bandage for support and ofcourse plenty of rest..

I've just gotten over a severe sprain that took me around 10 weeks to get over fully!!So Don't rush to get back otherwise you can do more damage as I did...it will heal naturally and quicker if you leave it alone!
