Rolled my ankle!!

Brandon Nov 2017 5:12am, 4 Nov 2017 197 posts	0 Brandon Rolled my ankle last Sunday at the end of a trail race. It's a little swollen and have applied an ankle support today, as yesterday it was aching. How long should I expect to be laid off running? 2-3 weeks or longer?

Start on flat smooth surfaces until the ankle has built up some strength/stability though. Balance cushion is also good (we have one to stand on while brushing teeth). Good luck!

Even so, you might find your proprioception (foot-feel) off for a bit, which is why flat surfaces are better.
