What is the best way to treat an ankle injury from trail running?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
R I C E: Rest, ice, compression (such as an ace-wrap or elastic ankle brace) and elevation. Some find taking Ibuprofen (advil, motrin) or aleve (naproxen) helpful. If no improvement is noted in a couple of days, or if you have pain, bruising and/or swelling, see your doctor.
