A few weeks ago I went to A&E/ER to check there wasn't a fracture and was informed there that there is no point in using ice after the initial week or two ???

Also when you say to use a brace, is this all the time or during activity and for what period do I use a brace before relying on my own strength ???

I am still shocked to have soreness and swelling 5 weeks after what felt like an innocuous sprain !!
