Please help me with my sprained ankle

[nirish]

Thanks great reply, I wouldn't say I am overly active on it in normal life, I've been doing stretches and some limited exercises like standing on one leg. I was informed online to progress with these even if there was still swelling there. I'm still getting some pain if I forget and turn around too quickly and there is some swelling between the ankle and the foot and across the bridge of the foot where it pivots. This tends to increase as the day goes on. I have been elevating it a lot in the evenings, sleeping with it on a couple of pillows and using a compression bandage in the mornings usually although I don't own a brace.

Could you send me a link as to what you mean by a brace as there as so many varying types and expense ranges. Everything I read suggests I should be progressing to light exercise such as cycling by now but I haven't done anything other than light walking to get around as it's still swollen and sore.

Can't decide if it warrants seeing a physio at this stage or if they will just tell me what I already know. Can they actually do much for it ??
