  • Yes there are few things you can do and they worked for me. It easy to remember if you think of P.R.I.C.E. Protection (keep a brace on to protect further damage) Rest (try to swim or cross train to let the ankle rest) Ice after each run, Compression, wrap up the ankle with an ace bandage to keep the swelling away from ankle, Elevation (keep ankle up above the the level of your heart so lie down and elevate the ankle. I read a great article and some good exercise videos at this link http://www.sportsmd.com/Articles/id/12/n/sprained_ankle.aspx
