I was wondering how i could heal my sprained ankle quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RICE: Unfortunately, only time will heal a sprain. Simple things like rest, ice packs, compression wraps and elevation are helpful in the immediate setting. If this does not help, it may be helpful to see a podiatrist or foot and ankle orthopedist who can get xrays to ensure there are no breaks and properly immobilize you in a brace or boot. Some docs are using prp injections to treat soft tissue injury.
