Sprained my ankle while doing High Jump. My foot got stuck in between tow big crash mats and I twisted it. Hurts like hell, enough to make me cry... And the crutches I got are way too small for me.

I was hoping to get some expert advice on how to warp the sprained ankle, besides not seeing that the video was pretty informative.

I applied frozen corn on my injured ankle from my sidewalk pothole accident. I didn't cry,but it hurt a lot more than an awful accident that I had on the play structure at Lakeshore Elementary.

[MKforlife9]

That`s strange......i sprained my ankle in practice and my coach did the opposite thing:

He put preassure by tightin up ny laces and told me to try and walk......then he told me to put ice.

My god it`s my 7th time that i sprained my ankle all because i forgot to put my aircast ankle protector......But thank god i can walk, not perffectly but i can still walk

[mermaidamp]

I did this when I volunteered at AP Giannini Middle School in San Francisco,California. Andy Ma was the student who had a sprained ankle/wrenched ankle.

[gibsondude07]

I sprained my right ankle today playing basketball. My god it hurt so much. I wanted to die. I got x rayed but thank God it was just a sprain. I can't even move it... Kill me please, please....

[JmoneyDiesol]

[wheelzwheela]

Victim?

[softball90876]

[shitzulovey]

thank you , good video, one month ago I dropped a large heavy hammer on my foot, very painful so I went to my doc and he did x-rays but foot not broken, bone bruise he told me, it is still painful and swells up,  he did prescribe a giant bottle of pain killers but I wonder how much longer til total healing???

[ddsailor25]

Good info, but don't put those cold packs directly on the skin without a covering. They can freeze directly to the skin.

[petedawg777]

i wonder if the captain has ever sprained his mustache

[UrbanDragon101]

Dide I was sparring and the guy kicked me right into the foot and now it's swelling up!

[elieistheman10]

uhmm i heard ur sposed to keep ur shoe on as long as possible to keep swelling over the joint

[Heartbreakuh]

I sprained my ankle yesterday, now I'm on crutches for a few weeks

[XxREAPER3024xX]

A sprained ankle will always be weaker than your other ankle. That's just the way it is. Last year this exact date I sprained my ankle at my third to last volleyball game. Today I tore a ligament and have a hairline fracture on my ankle playing the same school and third to last volleyball game of the season. What my luck.

[NoohM]

I am 13 Years Old... I have never caused any injury to my body... But I sprained my ankle by falling down... on a step... how embarassing?

[ZarosOne]

I sprained my ankle at a track meet. A week or two later i was playing lacrosse with a friend and i sprained it again. And now i gotta pretend like its not sprained so they dont take my name off the roster for the meet this saturday. fml

[david292978]

that being said, has anybody here, fully recovered from a sprained ankle, without going to the doctors? meaning just resting it and doing this RICE procedure(REST,ICE,COMPRESS,EL­EVATE), and by fully recovered i mean, to its original from, without any pain or stuff like tht. thanks

[Andylong99]

i remember when i sprained my ankle it was during basketball practice and we were just getting done when my ankle blew out on me i was in the hospital from 5-11 pm i was very drugged up on Vikaden medicine everytime i tried to get something to drink or eat the more pain i would feel i would linp from Destination a to destination b and back

[rugelindinda]

Captain, 1 question plz: In a car wreck. I received a stunning blow on the calf and gave me a wound. After 4 days I realized that my heel and instep were swollen. Why If i didn't hit me nothing in my foot?

[urstruelymayank]

thanks captain i had an injury and i was suspecting to b a break but thanks to your video i clearly get the diff that i have only a sprain........i hav a dance comp 2 weeks ahead...... now i can recover faster as i am on the positive side of my brain...thanks once again

[tzank87]

@g739 no doubt eh

[krsrmg2219]

[blskates24]

[ellpaxto]

@g739 yes yes yes yes, any advice?

[g739]

@ellpaxto yer man every like morning or night put for example your left foot ( if your left foots the sprained one) on your right knee when your sitting down grab your ancle tight and turn it in circles helps alot but im gonna guess yours is good now cus its been to weeks oh and stay away from kickflips for like 2 weeks :)

[ellpaxto]

@g739 Ah, yeah well, its a lot better, I am always injured ahaha. My ankle was near enough better then i fell and sat on my foot, i sprained my bones near mytoes. its prettygay, kickflips are the worst when your ankle is bust! thanks for advice though!!

so do streching exercises and strenghten your ankle!!!!! that helps but for mine ankle its too late :(((((((

[batabatuta03]

[jalee123456789]

i sprained mine playing bball too and it is too late for me to go back and play now that its been 5+ times i sprain it and its too weeaak! x'(

[shinobiwarrior1]

When putting on the elastic bandage, you must wrap the ankle with a figure eight wrap then apply the cold compress again. This will keep the area immobilized to prevent further injury to the ankle. Great video here!!

[TharsisEatsBrains]

I sprained my ankle in soccer. Ughh

[DaniiTheDino]

@TharsisEatsBrains I sprained my toe /:

[FreshLexx]

I Sprained My Ankle Playing Basketball Too. I tried to get fancy with it and pump fake the ball, then i landed on the side of my foot, and i heard and felt it crack, then i was on the ground cursing and swearing under my breath, next thing i know everyone is ariund me, and my coach ties my shoe real tight. The pain got even worse when I got home so i decided to go to the hospital.

[ebourgeois226]

I sprained my ankle in swimming

[PEEWEEK707]

[villarico1347]

[sportslover967]

tan line!

[mr3ggroll]

i sprain my ankle more than 25 times in my 18 years life

[pimprl6]

I sprained my left ankle about a month ago playing bball n it still stiff but not hurting so much. I thought I was healed n for the first time in a month I picked up a ball I went 2 see if I can still dunk (which I can) but as I landed I sprained my right ankle. Lol I guess I need 2 make my ankles stronger, how can I work them out.

[fireware909]

that sucks?

[Andylong99]

heh i do stupid stuff sometimes the 1st time i almost sprained my ankle was Getting on a Quad 4 wheeler with my uncle and making a huge jump i noticed my cousin krystal under us holding her ankle as well

[kaederukawa187]

What would happen if an ankle fracture isn't treated properly, if there isn't any problem with high intensity activities? Can an ankle fracture be cured when the injury is prolonged for so many years?

[mymarkis666]

You need to go and see a doctor.

[kaederukawa187]

hey i probably sprained my left ankle in April this year, but i suspect it was an ankle fracture.Though im back to my sports without any problem i can jump higher than before i injured my ankle but my injured ankle seems to be deformed, when i walk the injured ankle bend a bit to the left side and some unbalance when i try to stand with that foot, my ankle just keep on constantly shaking, sometimes there would be cracking and popping sound when i try to rotate my ankle, i only do RICE treatment.

[v794]

thanks fot the video

i've experienced this while playing futsal(indoor soccer) yesterday and i guess this video will be useful for me =)

[xiCHIMPix]

nvm turns out i fractured a bone D:

[xiCHIMPix]

can you sprain your foot because i stepped on the side of it and i guess put to much pressure when it happen i felt it pop or crack and now its swollen on the side of my foot is that a sprain or is it something else

[HipHopCreation]

just torn my ligiments and dislocated my ankle 2 days ago didnt know what to do i have to hop to the hospital wich was 1 hour away luckly i saw an ambulance thanks for the tipz

[davidreutz]

Sprained my ankle playing indoor soccer 2 weeks ago.

RICE treatment helped..

R-Rest the injured part

I-Ice pack within the first 48 hours of injury. 20 mins of pressing the ice pack to the injured part. 2 hours of rest in between pressing the ice pack again.

C-Compression. Strapping the injured ankle with elastic bandage except when sleeping at night.

E- Elevation of injured part to ease swelling

[Schuey4ever]

Hey, I did the same thing playing soccer 2 days ago. Are you back playing yet? just wondering how long I'll be out for

[horsehead330]

thank you cause i just sprained my ankle after i broke it and its swelled up and im applying ice and its working. thank you i feel safe that its not broken

[shoebox0000]

i rolled my ankle too much trying to do a kickflip on a skateboard and its been like 3 weeks and it still hurts, i thought it would heal but its not, now im worried can some1 tell me what to do, i heard r.i.c.e wont help and u shud use h.e.m.

[SRMSSOCCER22]

[LemonLimeSkateTeam]

same here has yours healed up yet mine hasnt. ive had it for two days now and am pissed cuz i cant skate... and to all you ppl that skat subscribe and add me

[TheEpicFailMan]

I sprained my ankle too 3 days ago.

I went to the doctor.

It needs AT LEAST 10 days of Immobility/Ice Therapy and if possible, Sea therapy .

Every hour placing ice packs for 10 minutes at the swollen area.

You will see that in 5-6 days you will feel well but you still need to let it rest.

Keep using it and you will end up unable to use that foot for 8 months like my friend.

[MunchMunch34]

I sprained my wrist. and my ankle. ow

[philboy521]

i sprained my ankle last night at a party.

[bbgurl60]

i was jumping onto my slip and slide and, lol, my foot twisted and was pushed back!!! lol, i was at the E R for 10 mins !

[Xanzster]

I injured my ankle roughly running on jagged terrain a week ago and did not treat it. I woke up today, tried to stand on it and almost collapsed due to the pain. I did not take any pain relievers nor did I go to any doctor. Given I could have done these things, here is what happened. My father put in a petition for my need at my christian church without I knowing. Somehow I can walk again. I wonder how that works?

[Driv3r14]

i sprained my ankle trying to jump roof to roof yesturday,

i landed wrong.

i couldnt move it at first,

the pain kept waking me up when i tried sleeping,

i can walk on it now,

but i have to focus my wait on my other leg so my ankle doesn't give in.

[destinationpsp]

i just sprained my ankle it hurts i can still walk but its freaking huge something in my leg keeps moving around

[Phead123]

i just Sprained my Ankle, Cant stand on my foot, it hurts, and i cant even move it! :I it hurts

[Bolduccjperson1]

my ankle is still in a big ball with some pain.. but it helps to ice and have a bandange on at the same time.

[TeamHeartbreakKidz]

just sprained my ankle yesterday. walking down the bleachers at lunch. someone thought it would be funny to trip me. so i did and sprained it. i can walk but my knee is VERY stiff.

[roca529]

this has been very helpful!

[RnldnhproXTR]

this video helped me out meng lol....thanks

[lundqvist07]

wrong. why would you take off the shoe? Then they'll never be able to get it back in. BSA knows best.

[hauntingpresence]

You take off the shoe because strapping and stabilising an ankle is safer than leaving it in an unsupporting shoe, trust me, when you've sprained your ankle, that shoe is going to come off so it can be assessed and stabilised.

It's easier to take the shoe off before your ankle swells too much than it is to take the shoe off after your ankle is swollen.

The only time to leave a shoe on is when you're out walking, and you're in hiking shoes, it'll be more stable until you can get to an ER

[wernervanlogg]

thanx alot man

[Vurn211]

thanks

[cellxcall]

kthat is sooo helpful thank you!
