Ideas about recuperating from a sprain

[donnydarkoIRL]

Hey Chris,
I'm one of those "willowy" framed guys.
That means I've got skinny calves and narrow ankles, so I'm susceptible to sprained ankles.

As a preventitive measure I got one of those flattened gym balls or a bosu ball similar to that in this picture, although ideally I prefer an actual flattened ball.

I then simulate a run lifting the ankles, before I switch to a roll, forcing yourself to balance your weight.


Hey, but the best thing I've found.....ask Scrap about the board in the centre.

Sprained my ankle yesterday, swollen up but feeling better already. Did not put ice on it or cream. Just left it alone and let nature take its course.

lots of good stuff so far i would add buy or procure a tens unit, use it religiously and get stretch bands and work to strenghten and strethc it as it heals.sounds like a lot of the pain now is from it being imobile for some time
