I hurt my ankle during softball and it is swollen and looking like it is bruised by my heel a bit. is there anything i can do to heal it faster?

R.I.C.E.: Rest, ice, compression, elevation (r.I.C.E.). This is most likely a sprain. Bruising patterns about the outside of the heel is common with a sprain, but can occur with a fracture. How long ago did this happen? Seek medical attention if no improvement in symptoms over a 1 week period. Try wearing an ankle brace for now and limit your activity. Physical therapy may be ordered per your physician.

RICE.: Rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Rice. If it doesn't get better in a week or two, see a podiatrist to rule out severe sprain or a small fracture.
