instruction: i have a grade sprained ankle im male 9 160lbs I had severe swelling to the size of a softball the first day swell as bruising that started to appear overnight on day I went to the doctor and got rays the doctor determined it was a grade sprain but gave me a projected recovery time of 6 weeks which is the recovery time for a grade sprain currently I am still unable to bear any weight but swelling is down drastically bruising is the same and now if my foot is not elevated I suffer extreme pain that causes me to often collapse to the floor if anyone knows why this is happening and if it will heal with the rest of my injury it would be much apreciated
output: dear thank you for your query as per the information provided by you I would suggest you to follow price protocol that is protection rest ice compression and elevation also I would suggest you to wear ankle support brace or tapping the ankle to provide more stability and thus accelerate healing also try to move the foot within the brace gradually without stressing much avoid weight bearing on the affected foot also I would suggest if you do not feel improvement within week kindly meet orthopedic surgeon or physiotherapist hope I was able to suggest few helpful information to accelerate your healing regards
