@Realm8kplp Hi Katie, you need to elevate your ankle. Just use pillows so that you are comfortable.

"Elevation is important immediately after an injury as it helps to reduce the amount of blood flow to the injured area. This helps decrease pain, swelling, and inflammation that may be present. When you are able to minimize swelling and limit any internal bleeding, you set the stage for faster healing. 

If you have sustained a foot or ankle injury, observing the RICE method of treatment is a good place to start. The RICE method involves rest, ice, compression and elevation. When you have a lower extremity injury, it is important to elevate it at or above the level of your heart. This can be done if you are lying on your bed or a couch and simply putting some pillows under the injured limb."
