I twisted my ankle last Saturday playing rugby, I would guess it is a grade II strain of the ankle ligaments as I could walk (albiet very gingerly) the next day. I iced it immediatley but it swelled up a lot and hasn't really come down since, there has been some very faint bruising on the outside of my shin and at the outside bottom of my foot.
I've been so busy with work I haven't had a chance to get it checked out but I'm visiting a physio this week.
the funny thing is all the swelling subsides when I go to bed and when I get up it is barely noticable, but after a few hours on my feet it returns. I have a compression sock on it which has helped a bit but the swelling is still there.
I can walk without any pain but if I stand on it for extended periods it does start to hurt.
It is stiff especially when I squat down but for the most part pain-free.

Any advice?
