Hey Limewave!

In my experience as a former ballerina, sprains hurt worse than a break, but fortunately heal quicker.

Keep ice on it for 10-15 min every half hour and keep it elevated. This will help to reduce the swelling. After the swelling goes down, I like to alternate heat with the ice. This will help keep the ankle loose and alleviate some of that "stiff" feeling you get from the ice.

Good luck and keep us informed!
