Sprained ankle

[Hugh Jarse]

Morning all, Can anyone help me as on Thursday I managed to sprain my ankle and I was wondering how long I should wait before I go back out on my bike. Many Thanks Hugh.

I would wait till the pain/swelling has gone,gentle excercise can aid in recovery,but whats gentle about steep hills or strong head winds ,it could agrovate or prolong healing,imo

A sprain can take a while to recover in some instances but the advice from col, about the letting the pain and swelling go first is a good starter!!
