After your ankle heals up, try writing the ABCs in the air with your feet to build up the tendons in your ankle. This will help prevent further injuries.
I hope these help! I play soccer and basketball, so I deal with injured ankle and sprains all the time.

I'm a cross county runner so I deal with over-use injuries and shin splints all the time. And about that 20 minutes...its been on 8 hours straight only off long enough to refill ice *hehehe* no swelling though..i literally just took it off two hours ago. I do swimming which of fine as no weight except for diving.
