-Ice!! to mitigate swelling so you may be to get a shoe one. Tape it for
support during activity if the swelling is down. I use Newchapter brand
ginger extract (very concentrated) as an anti-inflammatory; they also have a
cox-2 inhibitor that has ginger and several other components such as
turmeric. It works for me as well as vioxx did for a hip with a cartilage
problem. I recall sprains from college football that stiffened up terribly
overnight and which then loosened up as the day went on and I went about my
business. If your ligaments are torn badly, you may sol for a really rapid
recovery. But your message made it sound like there was not tearing that
would require casting: definitely a good sign. I bet it will improve
faster than you think! Good luck.
