Last week I sprained my ankle in company class and have been in physical therapy since starting the healing process. It was the first sprain of my career, so it was pretty severe. The day it had occurred I had an ankle bone similar to the size of a tennis ball, but in less than a week the swelling has decreased dramatically and bruising has been flushed in directions away from the ankle bone(i.e to my toes and outside of my calf). Luckily, Joffrey is on layoff for the next four weeks and I have ample time to recover. My progress is going well and I have been working on releves this week in therapy on the reformer. 
I have been having my ankle taped for support and bruising in my toes is clear in this picture.
Joffrey uses Athletico in the East Bank Club in Chicago for therapy.

Kinesio Tex tape! It’s elastic, it’s waterproof and gives great support.

Ouch! Try gin with a hint of vermouth and an olive. Take internally.

may i ask how long it took to heal - i have done the same to my own foot a few days ago - and its bruising up nicely - it feels a bit strange to be honest - not particularly painful - just not right.
hope you can help
