Jeremy Dale is a 30-year-old recreational sports enthusiast and likes to play soccer and baseball on his days off from work. He mentions to you, his co-worker, that he thinks he might have sprained his ankle over the weekend while playing soccer with some friends.

He says it is swollen and very painful today and asks whether you think he should see a doctor or just wait for it to get better.What might be some good recommendations for you to give Jeremy about his sports injury?

What could you tell him in general about minor sports injuries? How could he determine that it is a sprain or a strain? Should he apply ice and elevate or compress the injured ankle? Is it too late for that treatment to be helpful?
