A sprained ankle is a common injury that occurs when the ligaments in your ankle are stretched or torn. This can happen when you roll your ankle, land awkwardly from a jump, or step on an uneven surface. Symptoms of a sprained ankle include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking.
It is always best to have an ankle sprain reviewed by your physio to exclude serious injury and/or ongoing chronic ankle instability and pain. Musculoskeletal injuries, such as knee, shoulder, spine, and ankle injuries, are a common occurrence, affecting people of all ages and activity levels. These injuries can significantly impact one's ability to perform daily tasks, engage in recreational activities, and maintain a healthy quality of life.

A bunch of studies have found that popping anti-inflammatory meds (NSAIDs and corticosteroids) can throw a spanner in the works, as they tamp down inflammation. The most common argument against icing injuries is that ice has also been shown to reduce inflammation. This leads to the notion that ice might put a damper on the healing process.
