I’ve been diligent.
I’ve been submersing my foot and ankle in ice cold water *so* many times a day. I keep the water in a cooler so that it stays cold and then just add ice as needed. I have been doing my ankle strengthening exercises 3-4 times each day. I have carefully watched each repetition to be sure that I keep doing them correctly. I have taken my ibuprofen three times each day without fail. Finally, I have rested.
But although I don’t feel pain during the day, my ankle/foot just didn’t pass the test.
