A member asked:

I suffered a "severely" sprained ankle from football, i'm playin again now but its stil swollen and hurts at times from different motions what can i do?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Rest: Ice, compression and elevation. Wear a brace at all times......Heck with a doc to see if it is ok to continue playing, you may cause further injury by playing on it.

Dr Niazi and another doctor agreed
