Have some NeoCitran and sleep, sleep, sleep. Our bodies heal and rejuvenate while we're sleeping. Chicken noodle soup never hurt either. Get well soon!

munch away, it's just your own dried blood.  But, be sure to put some antibacterial ointment on the wound and a bandage, it will heal faster if it is covered.

Best, see a doctor, earliest. Must avoid further complications. Prevention is better than cure! The doctor will even recommend safe ways to avoid the pain and ensure early recovery.

RICE approach:\n\nRest--You may need to rest your ankle, either completely or partly, depending on how serious your sprain is. Use crutches for as long as it hurts you to stand on your foot. \n\nIce--Using ice packs, ice slush baths or ice massages can decrease the swelling, pain, bruising and muscle spasms. Keep using ice for up to 3 days after the injury. \n\nCompression--Wrapping your ankle may be the best way to avoid swelling and bruising. You'll probably need to keep your ankle wrapped for 1 or 2 days after the injury and perhaps for up to a week or more. \n\nElevation--Raising your ankle to or above the level of your heart will help prevent the swelling from getting worse and will help reduce bruising. Try to keep your ankle elevated for about 2 to 3 hours a day if possible. \n\nWhat is the best way to use ice?\nPutting ice on your ankle can be very helpful, but you also need to be careful. The cold can damage nerves if the ice is left in place too long. \n\nIce can be left on your ankle for up to 20 minutes at a time. When your skin feels numb, it's time to remove the ice. Use ice treatments every 2 to 4 hours for the first 3 days after your injury. Ice treatments can consist of ice packs, ice slush baths or ice massages. \n\nTo use ice packs, partly fill a plastic bag with crushed ice. Wrap a thin, wet cloth around your injury. Place the ice pack over this and then wrap an elastic bandage around the ice pack to hold it in place. \n\nFor ice slush baths, fill a large bucket with water and ice. Place your ankle in the bucket until the skin gets numb.\n\nIce massages can work well for small areas. Freeze water in 4- to 8-ounce styrofoam (coffee) cups. Tear the top part of the cup away from the ice. Hold the covered end and slowly rub the ice over the sprained area with a circular motion. Don't hold the ice on one spot for more than 30 seconds.

healing takes time. try to go hang out with some friends and maybe even try something new... like: an unusual food, yoga, a new dance, or support a world changing organization by buying a bracelet or something... give yourself time to get better... ;-) GOOD LUCK!

Immediately after the bruise is incurred (up to 24 hrs.):  Apply cold.  This minimizes leakage of blood into the surrounding tissues.\n\nAfter 24 hrs.:  Apply heat.  This speeds the inflammatory processes that break down the blood that has leaked into the surrounding tissues.

lysine and plenty of water, can accelerate healing down to a week or maybe even 6 days.

FIrst, shin splints are not fractures as quoted above.  Don't let that scare you.  They are generally from overdoing it too sson though.  Good shoes are important, but also some compression will help.  You can use soccer socks that are too small for you.  As long as they cover the painful area and squeeze you calf and shin a bit.  Also, ice them down as soon as you finish running.  Use the little 4 oz bathroom cups, fill them with water and freeze them.  Ice your whins with them tearing away the paper on the cup as it melts.  Use the whole cup.  Lastly, exercise those muscles that hurt.  Stand on a bottom stair on your heals with your arch and forefoot hanging over the edge.  Hold on for balance if you need to.  Allow your toes to lower toward the floor and then pull them all the way back up within a few reps you should feel those muscles in the front of your shin working.  Time yourself, if you can do it continuously for 30 seconds, then you rest an equal time (30 seconds in this case) and do it again.  Do 3 sets. Do these on a day you don't run, or after running, never before and ice afterward, just like after having run.

Hey there...here's some things that me and my piercing obsessed friends do to help ourselves heal quicker and keep away infection:\n\n1. Wash the piercing in the shower with a mild cleanser (like Cetaphil or generic Cetaphil, like Equate).\n\n2. Mix together about a spoonful of salt into a cup if warm water. Soak the piercing in it, or dip a cotton ball in it and apply it to the piercing. The mixture should be as salty as tears.\n\n3. Clean the piercing with a non-alcoholic mouthwash, ie Tom's of Main or whatever, just as long as it is non-alcoholic, as the alcohol can slow down the healing process.\n\n4. Don't use peroxide unless you are starting to get a bad infection, because it will majorly slow down healing. It will kill germs but it is bad for the healing process.\n\n5. You can also use saline soloution-the stuff they use to put in contact lense cases. It's really cheap.\n\n6. Witch Hazel is a non alcholic antiseptic that works better than peroxide. It;s very gentle and makes you feel nice.\n\nHope that helped!

Ask a doctor or risk listening to one of us and making it worse.\n\nUse Desitin. That should relieve the itching and promote faster healing.

Sounds like you have answered your own question.  If she's not healthy it will take a lot longer to heal.

The time it takes to heal any wound depends on several things. Good circulation to the area helps with healing. It brings nutrients and oxygen that are needed to heal. You can't let your blood sugar levels be too high. If someones blood sugar is too high then basically they may never heal the wound. Also make sure that you are getting enough protein in your diet. Protein is what your body uses to repair skin.\nYou may want to consider visiting a wound care clinic. We have one in our area. On certain patients they are able to put them in a bariatric chamber which saturates the body with oxygen to promote healing. Hope this helps!
