    The formula is RICE; Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. You've got the Rest and Ice going on so just remember to elevate your ankle so it is higher than your heart while you're resting, icing and sleeping and get some elastic ACE bandage (for sale at any loonie store or pharmacy...it's the rolled up stretchy beige bandage) and watch an on-line video on how to wrap your ankle. You'll be right as rain in no time :D

      The compression, ACE bandage, is especially important while you are walking, sitting and/or driving. You're active and healthy and will heal up very quickly.

    Get an ankle brace. It will really help. Canadian Tire sell if you see one. Food delivery will deliver to your van if you are in a big enough city.

    Along with the ice, take an OTC anti-inflammatory (Motrin, Advil, Aleve, etc).
    Wrapping your ankle with an Ace bandage will help hold everything together while you heal.

    Massage with Voltaren, it's really the best for this kind of sprained limb. I walked into a pot hole once in Montreal, and I didn't realise my foot was broken !! Stopped at the clinic on the way home. LOL
    Maybe get to a town to get it checked. Wishing you prompt recovery !⚘🐾🐱

    I had to wear a walking boot for 3 years because I couldn't find a Dr that could figure out why I was in pain all the time. So in that time I learned how to drive with my left foot. I finally had Surgery on my ankle and have been able to drive with my right foot again. I can empathize with what you're going through. Hope you're doing better now.

    Don't push it. Take it from someone who has so many ankle problems. I'm 72 and because I pushed myself during my lifetime I now have extremely weak ankles. The person who recommended ankle brace is right. Also wrap with ace bandage. Hope you get better soon take care young lady.

    I hope you don't mind me offer my opinion. I've learned to be a little more prepared. I know you don't have a lot of room to store things but I think it would be well worth buying 1)is an ACE cold compress reuseable, soft touch fabric that goes in the freezer, it will lay flat about 1/4 " thick they come in different sizes.2)a regular ace bandage. 3) dehydrated food for just in case. 4) a small healthy chocolate bar to keep in the freezer, I call it attitude adjuster if I get laid up.
    Oh and keep you walking stick available.
    Do you have a wish list of Amazon? I friends and I have stopped with gift cards because of the scamming but maybe gift of $ thru Amazon? I don't know how that works between two countries.
    I know you are not asking for help but sometimes people feel led to give. Hugs to you and Kitty.

    Make your ankles un-sprainable later by gradually adapting to barefoot/minimalist shoes. It forces all of the foot and ankle muscles to stabilize without any support causing maximum resilience. I was forced into this after foot injuries and it took a number of years of careful transition and now my feet and ankles are strong as nails. 💪

    I hurt my ankle over a year ago. It would get better,then get worse. So I finally went to a podiatrist & I got a boot and wore it for a while. Especially if I I had to stand for a time. Used it for a month on regular basis and then on and off next month. Now I’m not wearing it anymore. It really helped and now my ankle is the best it’s felt for a long time. Dr told me I needed to let it heal and then slowly work with stretch and strengthen. Also Not to wear boot too long due to concern losing strength and muscle. Heal up soon and well!!

    Emi, it’s good to find out if you have a sprain, a tear, or a hairline fracture because each one of those requires a little different treatment and time for healing. Sorry to see that you got hurt. If you can get an X-ray, that will be good to do. And then you’ll need a soft cast to protect it and let it heal.
