ankle question...

I've got a very tender ankle right now. I don't think I twisted it at all, but it really feels like it's sprained. What's the best way to treat it? Heat? Cold? Nothing? I'm letting it rest (no running, I did intervals yesterday but not going to do tomorrows run) but thought I'd see what the general thought was on treating it... Thanks.

I think that ice is a good idea. Many good runners have stuff that they ice every day. My knees could use some ice a couple times a week.

Thanks Scott!

Ice for sure.... Is it swollen? Black or purple?

It's a little swollen around the outside ankle bone but not black or purple. I'll do some ice on it on and off today. Thanks Dan!
