I feel down some stairs this evening and had instant pain.  Didnt hear any noise to know if it popped or not as it was at my daughters concert.  There is minimal swelling and no bruising.  If I walk straight its not too bad but twisting my foot inwards, yikes.  I iced for 1/2 hr but what should I do now?
Hi there. Looks like you have an ankle sprain. The general treatment follows rest, ice, compression and elevation. Rest your leg over two pillows so that the swelling comes down. Take rest for 2-3 days if you can. Avoid letting it hang down as it can increase your swelling. Avoid putting any weight on it for the next 5 days to one week.  Apply ice packs over the ankle regularly. Do some minor exercises like moving your foot up and down, gentle ankle exercises to avoid stiffness. If the swelling is awful, use cr\u00eape bandage. If it's not a bad injury it should subside in a matter of a week. In case of awful swelling or persisting pain, please get an x-ray and get evaluated for the same. Take paracetamol 500 mg if the pain is too severe. You can take maximum thrice to four times a day.
