well this is what i usually do. i usually apply cold compression in the injured ankle to put down the swelling right after i twisted my ankle..AFAIK you are not suppose to put hot compression immediately coz hot temp. creates more blood circulation in the injured ankle thus promotes swelling...give it plenty of rest and put bandages on it...
btw, it really does hurt after you wake up the following day especially when you get out of bed coz once you begin to sit or stand up, gravity takes the blood in to your ankle & veins will start to expand thus the experience of pain in the injured ankle.. the bottle technique does work for me but i usually do it the day after the injury.
i'm no doctor but this is how i do based on countless experience of twisting my ankle....
