A member asked:

I twisted my ankle in soccer practice tonight and it is pretty sore how long should i not play we have a game on friday should i play?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rest, ice,: Compression and an ankle brace are a good idea. You can see how it is feeling on Friday before the game. If you ice it and wear an appropriate brace or ace bandage you may be okay. When in doubt ask a foot /ankle doc.
