Well it looks like I have to stop jogging for a wk
I'm so upset I've been jogging now for about 6wks, and I up to doing 3-4miles a day depending on my mood and now I sprained my ankle  The dr. said I have to stay off it for a wk, I can't believe I'm upset about this but I really liked getting out of the house for my jog (never thought I would feel that way) Anyhow when I start back up should I start less or do you think it's ok to do what I was normally doing? I feel like I should do more to try to make up for what I loss but at the same time I don't want to hurt myself more. Would love to hear any advise if not thanks for letting me complain.

What did your doctor say about getting back - I would listen to whatever they say? Can you bike/swim? I would probably play it by ear and do the lesser milage the first day. There's no reason to try to make up - your body will fall back within a few runs.
I rolled my ankle on xmas eve last year and it hurt so bad that if I hadn't had xrays, I would have thought it was broken. By the end of the week it was perfect again. I went back slow and steady. did they tell you to take anti-anti-inflammatories? Ibuprofin, aspirin, noproxen?

I agree with Erica, please listen to your doctor and your body 
You need to give yourself time to heal or you will just make things worse. When you get back into it I would work my way up slowly

They said to take ibprofin but to be honest it doesn't hurt that much only when I go from flat foot up my toes so I haven't taken anything. I guess I just do what the Dr. said, take off this wk and do a day or two of walking next wk and then start off a little slow when jogging.
Thanks girls for your imput

I know how you feel...trust me!!! I had to stop jogging for 5 weeks!
I'm finally getting back into it. I think you should ease yourself into it. 3-4 miles is a lot! You don't want to injur yourself further.
