Question 1

how might you heal a sprained ankle fast?

Accepted Answer

You can't: I think i've answered this before but, you can't heal an injury. You can only slow healing but doing the wrong things. Rest, ice, compression and elevate are key to any injury. If there is bruising and swelling, get it checked. You may also have a fracture. And don't go to the er. It's very expensive and their priority is life-threatening conditions. I've seen numerous ankle fractures missed.
