Suggest Treatment For Ankle Sprain

I sprained my ankle on Friday and went to urgent care for X-rays. The X-rays were negative and was told I had a sprain. I have no pain but slight tingling of the big toe every so often. The ankle swelled up immediately the size of a baseball but after R iCE the last 3 days swelling has gone down substantially. Some bruising has appeared. But overall I am able to walk fairly well with a brace. I want to know if I have ligament damages or tendon damage would I be able to walk on the injury pain free?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I cancluded that you got sprain of your ankle joint. It is likely partial injury of ligaments. You will be able to walk normally after few weeks of treatment. Your bruises will gradually reduce itself. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery in pain. You can discuss with your Doctor about it.
