Ankle pain could be caused by an injury, like a sprain, or by a medical condition, such as arthritis. Ankle sprain is one of the most common causes of ankle pain. For immediate at-home treatment of ankle pain, the RICE method is recommended. This includes: Rest — Avoid putting weight on your ankle. Try to move as little as possible for the first few days. Use crutches or a cane if you have to walk or move. Ice — Begin by putting a bag of ice on your ankle for at least 20 minutes at a time. Do this three to five times a day for three days after the injury. This helps reduce swelling and numb pain. Give yourself about 90 minutes between icing sessions. Compression — Wrap your injured ankle with an elastic bandage, like an ACE bandage. Do not wrap it so tightly that your ankle becomes numb or that your toes turn blue. Elevation — Whenever possible, keep your ankle raised above heart level on a stack of pillows or other type of support structure. Once your pain subsides, gently exercise your ankle by rotating it in circles. Rotate both directions, and stop if it begins to hurt. You can also use your hands to gently flex the ankle up and down. These exercises will return your range of motion and help exercise your ankle, lowering your risk of reinjury. If you still have pain. Please consult a nearby Physiotherapist.
