Sprained foot - HELP!

[ChipButty]

Sprained my foot after a vigorous session at the soft play with my DS and DD!! Went to work yesterday (I'm a primary school teacher so I'm on my feet all day) and by the afternoon it was v sore and I could hardly walk. Have taken the day off today and will try and put my foot up. Will strapping help and should I go back tomorrow if it's well strapped? Think I may have strained ligaments on the top of my foot near the ankle. Thanks! CB xx

rememeber this acronym:
R -rest
I -ice
C -compression
E - elevation

Strap it up and put it up - and rest!
I don't think you should go back to school tomorrow - I think you should rest it otherwise it will take longer to recover.

Thanks, Belgo. I only work Mon-Weds so I guess I would feel guilty if I didn't go back tomorrow. I'll see how I go. x

CB- when I sprained my ankle I was put in plaster!

I would go and get it sorted as my just got more swollen and more black and bruised as the days went on.

Thanks. I've spoken to a few people now who have advised me not to go back to work until next Monday. Realistically, I know I couldn't cope with being on my feet all day tomorrow. xx
