Hi Pacoman,

I would suggest you see a physiotherapist for accurate diagnosis and treatment of your ankle sprain. Your symptoms sound largely inflammatory, as inflammation typically accumulates with rest and typically lasts 48 - 72 hours after injury or injury aggravation. As a general guideline, increasing pain with rest usually indicates you have aggravated your injury prior to your rest period. You may also benefit from following the RICE regime.

Hope that helps and good luck,
