Stop the ice.: It's about time to stop with the ice. An ankle support, along with judicious use of the ankle might be the way to go now. The swelling is a sign that the ankle is still a bit unstable, a type of cast, supplied by your body.

I sprained my ankle a week ago. The pain started as excruciating but now it's just swollen, feels numb and achey. Almost like it needs to pop. My job requires a lot of walking and I have a brace & follow the RICE method. When should I see a doctor?

I had a severe ankle sprain two years ago. I went to a doctor but no x-rays were taken. It still gets painful and swollen at times depending on physical activity and I suspect with certain types of footwear.
