i slip out and my ankle is aching.

hi how is you ankle now... i hope its not in pain any more...... take care of your steps my friend.... steps of feet and life both... and if it is aching too much u must do to the doctor

This happened to me a lot of times. What I did to ease the pain, is apply a cold compress then after one hour, i applied hot compress. Then try to roll your feet on a bottle. Just put the bottle on the floor them put your aching foot over the bottle, then roll it slowly. If the pain is still there you must go and consult the doctor.

Oh no, you shouldn't have rotated your foot or massage it. Whenever things like this happen it's not always advisable to touch the affected area otherwise you will put more damage on it. I think you need to see a doctor and have your ankle x-rayed to check if there's some broken twigs or what. I also tripped when I was in high school but I didn't tell anybody. I thought it was okay. But now I occassionally make some pivotal moves and my ankle would hurt. I haven't seen a doctor but I should soon.

for a sprained ankle mydoctor always told me remember RICE rest it put ice on it, wrap an ace bandage around it and elevate it.these steps help to stop the pain and slow down the swelling by elevating it and compressing it with ice pack to stop the pain this does work.

Hi ozzeth. I'm sorry for your ankle pain. I think that you must go to the doctor. Maybe is a muscular distension. Take care my friend and I wish you grow better quickly. cheers

Yes, if you are stil in pain then you should go to the doctor so they can XRAY your left foot. I hope you will will fine soon. Take care and rest.
