What Is The Cure For Sprain In My Ankle?
laying down last night, right ankle suddenly felt like it had a bad sprain. I assumed it was just a funny twinge and would go away, but no , still not gone and very painful and cannot really walk. I can rotate ankle a bit, maybe 40% of good right ankle. I cannot bring toes back to normal standing position. Foot most comfortable toes slightly dropped. if I squeeze at the base of fib\tib its very painful. please help. Tom Brett

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The ankle sprain is best treated conservatively by avoiding weight bearing on the affected ankle, rest and doing a hot fomentation in the area.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
