Snake do recommend just walking off a sprained ankle or just stay off it?

Middle of my freshman year of college, I severely sprained my right ankle. I still brace it to this day. It's permanently bigger around than my left ankle and somewhat weaker. The ankle sprain was 10x more painful than my ACL pain. My ankle was a continuous throb that was mind-numbing. The ACL tear was 30 seconds of horrible pain and then it didn't really hurt.
Yeah mine is still very swollen partially because I keep falling since it's so unstable. I've been walking and biking a lot on it because the Doc said to but it's very painful still.

Oh, and for you Cobro Shelby guys, a 730 wheel Shelby won the "B class" (aka the slow class) trapping 138. A Vette won the "A class" trapping 163! Stock bottom LS3, stock heads, F1 blower pushing 900 wheel.
That Shelby was either:
1- clone
2- poorly set up
3- poorly driven
4- numbers from a happy dyno
5- only used first 4 gears
6- insert typical GM excuse here...


LOL. Just kidding mang. The event sounds like a blast!

"Walking it off" is really only good if you're loosening it up to get ready for the day or you know you'll be up and moving a lot. When you're not on it (and at home), keep it elevated and ice it 20 mins on 20 mins off for ~3 cycles. In between cycles, you can do the A B C's, too, which is just what it sounds like. With your leg still, pretend your big toe is a pencil and draw out each letter of the alphabet, first in lowercase then in uppercase.

I know I **** with you a lot and that may sound like a joke ^^^ but I promise it's not.

Depending on your access to heat, there's a couple other things you can do, too.

So a 730whp gt500 traps 138 in the 1/2 mile? wtf.

The same thing that happens to any thing he ever posts. They must have a weird car scene up there because it seems like a lot of guys on here from around that area get butthurt easily.

94 I think? It was 10 years ago. I was partially trolling but nobody took the bait.

I'm a nerd though. EE major and spend just as much on computers as my cars and bikes .
