Small ankle sprain nothing too serious just swollen and tender. I don’t want this to interrupt my current routine so I’m trying to figure out ways to help it heal faster or modify workouts so that I don’t have too much strain on the ankle.
As has been so eloquently addressed, just stay off the ankle! If you use it, you’ll increase circulation to the anatomic site and potentially increase inflammation. Keep it elevated and ice it after a workout. If it hurts, don’t do it. Pain is a big red flag.
