i sprained my ankle nearly three weeks ago and its still swollen
does anyone know of a way to reduce the swelling? i used ice to bring it out but seems to be taking ages to go down (about another 2 weeks i think)

Having said that 3 weeks for swelling to go down seems like a very long time to me. Is it possible you have done something more than just sprain it? How did you hurt it and has a doctor looked at it?

got it checked at A&E and they said that it wasnt broken and just a bad sprain, she said it may take 2-3 weeks to sort but am getting restless now as all i can really do at moment is swim and its reducing my training time for bath half marathon on 24th march
which you can wear all day. This reduces swelling and helps circulation.
