What size compression socks should I get after a bad ankle sprain?
Manage episode 441756106 series 2360074
If you sprain your ankle, you know that you need to protect it.
The old treatment algorithm used to be R.I.C.E.: rest, ice, compression and elevation.
The newer protocol is P.R.I.C.E.: protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation.
Compression is one of the main things you need to do when you get an ankle sprain. When you sprain the ankle, it swells a lot and it's not going to get better, and you are not going to get back to running until sometime after that swelling goes away.
The point of this episode is that when your ankle is swollen, it is a different size from your non-swollen ankle.
