Matthew Dairman Best Quotations

It's best to have an injured ankle evaluated as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. If you can't see a foot and ankle surgeon or visit the emergency room right away, follow the RICE principle -- Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation -- until medical care is available.

If you fall on an icy spot and hurt your ankle, the best advice is to seek medical attention immediately. This aids in early diagnosis and proper treatment of the ankle injury and reduces the risk of further damage.
