A member asked:

I fell today in my yard.my ankle turned. now my ankle hurts to walk on it. is it sprained?can i workout?how long do i have to wait until i can workout

Sprain is likely : Rest, ice, compression and immobilization. Return to working out when you have minimal pain and swelling and normal function. Check out my mini-blog on the subject. https://medium.com/healthtap/three-tips-regarding-ankle-sprains-f7b3a69fd1f8#.lut7qx48j
