sprained ankle and working out upper body????

[Medina]

Well i sprained my ankle last night, at first i was ok but now i walk with a heavy limp. Will it be a bad idea if i workout my upper body with the sprained ankle? and anyone know how long does it usually last for it to heal?


Yeah its pretty bad!

which way did it twist?
ive sprained my ankle many times when i skateboarded umm and most times it would take a month to heel . but i would still kinda feel it since i kept skating on it.
you could still workout your upper body man just sit down for most your work outs .

i rolled it outwards in a moshpit :(

Ice and rest are best to do within the first 48hours after that it really won't help it. Dont Ice it after that period its a waste of time.
You need to do excercises and stretches, it will speed up the healing time!

Do these while sitting with your legs fully extended infront of you:
Pull your foot towards you using your ankle. Hold it for 10-15 secs. Then relax and do that 8-10 more times. Do the same thing except push your foot forwards (away from your body) using only your ankle.
Then sit in a chair and write the alphabet with your foot moving only your ankle.

Don't just sit and ice it or it will take a lot longer than normal. But keep in mind it still needs its rest. You should be fine to work out your upper body but like bb4arson said do it sitting down. You don't need any added weight on your ankle for a few days at least!

X2 but it needs to be someone who know what they are doing though, cuz if not it could hurt u in the long run. If u need someone to massage it for u I know of a good sobadora. :)

Hope u get well soon and like u said.. before the party too. :sucker:
