I've sprained my ankle, what shoul I do?

What a coincidence. Happened to me too, a couple of days ago.

Rest lang talaga. You can take some mefenamic acid (like Ponstan) for the the pain.

Sa akin noon, nabalian talaga ako (nag-crack) sa right foot ko. Nang makita ng doktor na hinihilot ng mother ko yung magang paa ko, nagalit yung doktor! Mga doktor pala di naniniwala sa hilot. Nilagyan ng cast yung paa ko, then pahinga lang, and let it heal.

kuha ka ng bote, tapakan mo and let it roll.. apply some pressure once in awhile... baka kasi mabulok eh..

mabulok? di ko gets...

If you can't put weight on it, better have it checked sa orthopedic might be serious.

those medicine only relieves the pain... but the underlying cause is still there... and most probably the pain will eventually returns...

its better to see a physician...

HTH.

iulit ko lang pinakaimportante pag nagpapahinga ka (i.e. sa gabi).

diba ice for first 24 hours, tapos warm compress the rest? kung gusto mo maging sure, pa check mo na rin para sure na walang problema bukod sa sprain. tsikot.com ka muna habang pahinga

Nasa UK ka naman Wouie, pumunta ka na lang sana sa A&E ng kahit anong NHS hospital para ma-check yan ng doctor ... "libre" naman lahat. Kung hindi lang sprain yan, bibigyan ka pa ng crutch, at therapy kung kailangan. Lahat ng ibibigay sa iyo matagal mo nang binabayaran, yung National Insurance (NI) tax.

And btw, get well soon

the best diyan ay pa Xray mo na at patingnan sa doctor...ASAP

di mo kasi alam kung ugat na nalihis or may crack na pala ang bone mo

sa Hilot kasi di nila alam dahil wala naman nakita sa Xray ,kundi sasabihin lang na "ayan pipihitin ko may tutunog ..ugat mo iyon nalihis lang"

iyon pala buto mo na na may crack tapos lalo pipihitin pa ..arraayy ko po

totoo ba to? kasi one time i spained my ankle. can't put my weight on it. for 3 days walang lakad. after 3 days konting weight lang. now nakakalakad na ako ulet pero it doesn't feel the same way na. pag iniikot ikot ko ung ankle laging may lagatok. sometimes biglang bumigay paa ko if my weight rests on a certain point of my foot, so parang bigla akong natutumba. i still play basketball never stopped.
