Any suggestions?
This past Thursday, I stepped in a hole while longeing a horse (so moving somewhat quickly with purpose and not watching where I was going), and sprained my ankle badly. I am on crutches right now - the DR suggested stay off for 10 days and ice daily - foot and ankle is still swollen, no outer bruising. Feels okay to bear weight on it as long as it doesn't rotate, but I don't want to risk being out longer than ten days.... but I feel like it should be doing SOMETHING.
Any suggestions? Would sitting in a hot bath and moving it around with the loosened up muscles hurt things, do you think?
