Ankle Sprain: You haven't actually asked a question, but the classic treatment is rice. Rest, ice, compression (i.e. Ace wrap), and elevation. Add an NSAID like naprosyn (naproxen) or ibuprofen. If you cannot bear weight at all, you my have a fracture and should seek treatment. The more aggressive you treat it now, the shorter it will take to heal.
