First put an ice pack on it, this will keep the swelling down. If you insist on skating wrap it tight but, you could compound an injury so, I wouldn't. Go see an ER and have an X-Ray, see if there's any permanent damage then follow the doctors directions.

Try pliometrics. Lunges work too. Jumping rope and anything that can make your muscles think they have to work harder than they do. Figuratively speaking of course. Try tying a piece of surgical tubing to your ankle and anchor it somewhere. Make sure it is resistant enough and do high-knee type steps.

no cure. but better shoes will help, so will support stockings. use some liniment like Ben gay on your legs when you get home.  I think the occasional soaking in warm Epsom salts will also help.  buy ankle weights and use them with leg exercises to help make your muscles stronger.\n\nMake an appointment with a podiatrist (foot doctor) \n(to be sure the problem isn't a medical one or becomes one like flat foot or fallen arches, he should also have some good suggestions to help the aches, In some states (But not all) he may also be able to help you with your employer esp if you would need something like a high stool to sit on near the register between helping people.     (work related medical injury problem, discrimination against handicap etc/))

the bone will heal fine on its own, even stronger than before.\n\nsadly, your ligaments can only be repaired in surgery, sometimes not even then.\n\ni had to give up skateboarding because i neglected my ankles, so be safe. give it time and take the right steps to healing properly.

compression is the best thing you can do. I'm an athlete and have suffered some pretty bad sprains and compression has always worked but only if it's a sprain.\n\nbut in your case it sounds more like a fracture than a sprain. temporarily put crushed ice in a plastic bag and put it on ur ankle and put a little pressure...not too much pressure or you'll make it worse. depending on how much cold your skin can take do this for an hour or so.\n\ngive an hours break and then put your ankle in a tub filled with hot water...again as hot as you can take. it'll sooth the pain. keep it in until the water cools off.\nthen if u have bandages at home, apply a little pain relief cream on your ankle and wrap up your ankle properly and carefully.\nbe very careful about how tight you tie it. if it's too tight you'll hurt yourself worse.\n\nif you don't wanna risk the bandages alternate the compression and hot water treatment.\notherwise just the hot water treatment will do.\nhope this helps...best of luck\n\nn yeah try not to move around much...use a walking stick.

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.

Could be a touch of arthritis. Another possibility would be a tight achilles tendon. In either case, I'd recommend two exercise \n\n(1) Put a telephone book (or something similar about 2-3 inches high) on the floor. Place the toes and balls of feet on the book with your heels resting on the floor. Raise yourself up and down about 10 times. This exercise done 2 or 3 times a day will help stretch your achilles tendon.\n\n(2) While sitting or supporting yourself while standing, do simple circles both to the left and right several times throughout the day...and especially before you are going for a walk. This will help warm up the muscles around the ankle before you walk and may help alleviate some (or all) of the pain.

The inner part of your ankle can be sprained, or fractured.\n\nThe bony prominence in the inside edge of your ankle is called the medical malleolus and is part of the tibia bone, it is possible to fracture this bone.  Usually a fracture here occurs when you invert (twist your ankle).\n\nIt is also possible to strain the medial ligaments of your ankle, if this has occured the usually treatment is analgesia (pain relief), rest, elevation, ice and ankle support (ankle strapping).  Recurrent spraining of the ankle can sometimes be prevented by a physiotherapist teaching you ankle strengthening exercises.  A sprained ankle can take up to 6-12 weeks to fully heal.\n\nOnly your doctor and an xray can distinguish between a sprain and a fracture that requires a foot plaster.  If it is not improving with time/rest see a doctor.

Ice, regular anti-inflammatory tablets (ibuprofen), and rest.......try and work out what movement has strained them and try to avoid it. If it doesn't get better within a month, see your doctor for referral to physiotherapy.

First you need to get the swelling down. There are several methods available to do this, but putting your ankle/foot in ice is the best way to start. Don't just put ice on your ankle, put your foot/ankle in a bucket of ice water. \n\nWhile you have your foot in the ice water, start writing the letters of the alphabet with your big toe. This will help you relieve some of the stiffness in your ankle and will assist in moving the blood (swelling) out so you can start the rehab process. \n\nThen you need an aggressive strengthening program. R.I.C.E. is slow and really only applies to the initial day(s) after an injury. \n\nAlthough the RICE protocol does help with the pain somewhat, it has nothing to rehab your sprained ankle.\n\nIf you don't properly rehab your ankle, you will very likely experience more serious and more frequent sprains. \n\nDon't fall for the quick fix patches because a large part of the rehab process is mental...you have to believe and know that your ankle is rehabilitated before you will actually be able to return to your normal activities.

u cant cure it by a homeopathic medicine. it is a bone spurt into the tissue and the onl way to "fix it " would be to go to a padiatrist aka a foot dr. he will opper8 and file it down.

Rest. Sometimes taking it easy a day or two can help with recovery.\n\nApply ice if it gets very painful. This helps keep any inflamation down.\n \nPerform rehabilitation exercises (low-impact) regularly. Swimming and cycling are excellent activities for an individual with shin splints. Try to avoid excessive impact while recovering.\n\nWear shock absorbing insoles in shoes. This can prove helpful when getting back to a running routine if the shin splints still hurt.\n\nI know what you're going through...shin splints are a pain. x.x Hope these help.

Most likely, you just jolted your nerves around in your ankle. If it helps soak it in some epison salt and take it easy. Best bet is wait until later on tonight if it still hurts after you soaked it wrap a bandage around it and it should be fine or buy yourself an ankle support and have it on for a few days and then it should be fine. If not see the doctor and he will just tell you keep it up and stay off it as much as possible.

I would start a physical therapy regimen.  However you may need to see an orthopedist to make sure you aren't injuried seriously.  you could have tendinitis or arthiritis if you have been playing for a long time.  If your tendons and bones are okay however you should be doing excersies in the gym to strengthen the area and working the area in question.  Make sure you are stretching before your activity and icing after you play.  I would buy ankle wraps so that you don't have to tape them up everytime.  Look into sports therapy and sports medicine websites, there you can get a list of excersises that will help your cause.  \n\nGood Luck!
