Just joined the gym and been 4 times this week only to badly sprain my ankle at work today and now cant walk on it. On crutches for a day or two till i can weight bear...when can i go swimming? Will that help it heal? Ive sprained my ankles many times and know how long it can take to gain full use of it again but this time is worse than I've ever experienced! Yowch!!!!  |

Thank you both..I've had an xray so no obvious breaks.
They said if no improvement in a few days to go back. I've always been able to weight bear after a sprain after about 20 mins but its been 6 hours now. I've got an air and cold splint which I just put in the fridge now I've come to bed. Need cwtches (cuddles) |

Torn ligaments is the worst pain I've ever had and I've had plenty of injuries
If it's ligaments then depending on the severity could be weeks or months before its healed. I was unable to play football again for about 9 months but that was a really bad tear
Hopefully it's just a really bad sprain |

Sprains are probably more painful than a clean break.
Hope you're feeling better soon x |

I'm going to my circuit class Tuesday morning..the lady that runs it will be able to tell me what I should and shouldn't do. It's all low impact stuff. I don't want to stop as I've just got into it. |

Sounds painful. Don't do yourself more damage by exerting more pressure on the sprain/bruise, I know it frustrating though but take it easy until it's mended and take the advice of the gym folk.
Or swim/steam room it if your gym has that. That way you may feel like you're still doing something at least. |
