Ankle sprain can be very painful. The grade o sprain depends on the force of injury. If it is not very painful you can try ice pack and a crepe bandage and not do heavy work for a couple of days. If pain is severe and swelling starts developing then you may need to consult an Orthopaedic.
Next Steps
Ice pack, Crepe bandage, watch out for swelling
Health Tips
Avoid lifting weights, continuous work
