Treating your sprained ankle
Treating your sprained ankle properly may prevent chronic pain and instability. For a Grade I sprain, follow the R.I.C.E. guidelines:
Rest your ankle by not walking on it.
Ice it to keep the swelling down.
Compressive bandages immobilize and support your injury.
Elevate your ankle above your heart level for 48 hours.
