Soccer injury

[fortius]

Hi,
I just sprained my ankle very badly playing soccer, I have to be off my foot for a few weeks according to the doctor and I have to get some exams don on it. Does anyone have any natural medicine or medicine in general that they can recommend. The last thing I want to hear is that I need surgery.

Hi
Natural medicines etc will unlikely have any effect on a sprained ankle. The best thing you can do is to rest, ice and compress it for now. Your Doctor may recommend anti-inflammatories.
If you have further tests these are probably to see if there is an associated fracture or any tendon damage as well as the ligaments.
