Answers:
You have to rest it as much as possible!. There are a lot of structures involved in an ankle sprain which need time to heal - a week is just not long enough!. At night, have your foot in a basin of warm water (or whilst in the bath) and write the alphabet with ur foot to give it light exercise and make sure the structures dont seize up from not being used properly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
