Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but all I could find were answers to knee problems.
I twisted my ankle the other day, nothing serious but enough to notice. I can't really stay off of it because of my job. However, I've been doing ice 20 min. per day, brace while I'm at work or play, when I'm at home the brace comes off and I flex and rotate my foot.
What is the difference between and sprain and a twisted ankle? Are they the same? Should an ankle brace stay on all the time or only when you need the extra support during the recovery time? Should a heating pad also be applied or is ice enough?
Thanks for the help.
