Sprained ankle : Sprained ankles are amazingly painful! Ice, immobilizing and elevating the injured part can help. An OTC pain reliever like ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen or even aspirin can do a lot initially . Take with food!! If you can't stand to bear weight or there is definite swelling or bruising, you may need an X-ray and a visit to a doctor. Often they also improve quickly, too, however!
