Keep icing it too - I've just discovered the magical powers of ice and am very impressed. I've stopped short of the Paula Radcliffe ice baths after the long run though!
Remember to do proprioception exercises as soon as you're able. Pulling your toes up towards you,pushing them away, and circling the foot. This will help you regain full function without instability.
See http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu for more details on exercises.
If it's a nasty sprain then a physio may give you a wobble board to use.
good luck
Good Luck Paul
