If you injured your ankle, such as twisted it or fell, then you should see your doctor, and he will most likely get an X-Ray of your ankle, to make sure you did not break any bones, and he may, if your injury happened some time ago, and you are still sore and in pain, get what is called a "CAT SCAN" which can show the tendons and ligaments of your ankle, to get a clear picture of what is the exact nature of your injury! The rule of thumb for any bodily injury with pain, (and no bleeding, protruding organs, or trauma etc, I speak of only simple injuries, and if you are not sure if your injury is simple or not, then you should ALWAYS consult a Doctor or go to an Emergency Room to get treatment) But, as I said, the rule of thumb is "ICE for 24 hours after the injury, put ice packs or bags of ice on the painful place that you injured...THEN after the 24 hours, you apply HEAT to the injury, because the swelling happen in the first 24 hours usually, which is why they say to put ice on it, to reduce swelling, and then, the swelling stops, and HEAT applied really relaxes the injured area, decreasing pain, and increasing tissue healing! Please let me know how everything turned out! Best Reguards, Ashley Curran "ashes2ashes73"
