Now, back to work today, I teach, special ed, I need my feet, and tonight, my foot is swollen and bruised, Any ideas of what to do to make it stronger, quick???!!!! I was actually thinking of getting or wrapping it for the time I teach as I have to run, and chase kids all day ( summer school) any other ideas much needed !!!!

I sprained my ankle pretty bad a few times. What seemed to help me is to fill a bucket with cold water and another one with hot water. I would put my ankle in the cold for a minute and the hot for 30 seconds. This helped allot but it didn't cure it over night. However, your injury is much different but might be worth a try.

Not really. Rushing your recovery is a good way to suffer another injury. If you're hurt, take the time you need and that the doc reccomends to recover.

okay this a reach but how is the padding in your shoes? that might help things..

Yeah, you could get those gel inserts to put in.....hey matt, you gellin'? LOL...

Or if you go see your podiatrist, you can ask him to get you some of those prescription shoes that kinda look like clown shoes, but they do work and help alleviate some of the pain. I used to have a few teachers where those in my high school.....only problem is that we used to make fun of 'em...hehe...kids can be so cruel can't they?

LOL actually I just got a new pair of asic nimbus VI and they have the gel built in.. that is one of the things that made me think about it..
at work, I have a good pair of Rockports and I wouldn't be caught dead on concert floors without them..

I thought the same thing, so I got a pair of new balance sneakers, for cross training since i lift weights and also run road races I am tough on my feet.....but thanks for the idea matt
