OwwwwwwwWWWWWwwww...

Okay, I am so not a runner in any form? But I walk my ass off and spend half the summer hiking on trails that make seasoned boy scouts cry. I have an utterly gimp ankle and a half gimp knee and elbow (the ankle being from 6th grade when the biggest kid in our grade totally bowled me over in the hall to get to lunch--ass. See, I don't even have decent war stories about my injuries -_-).

You might alternate keeping it iced with heated? The ice does help inflammation, but if you can stand it, the heat will encourage more circulation to the area and speed body tissue regrouping/recovery depending on precisely what happened. I definitely don't think, if it's down to "just" stiff as hell and hurting, that you should completely stay off of it, but backing off a bit is probably a good idea. Other than that, my only secrets are totally not secrets and the most basic things ever that you probably already do: sport tape and Ace bandages (I look like a mummy or a reject science project half the time). I've made up plasters and poultices for the boys who, omg, are just DYING when they get injured, but honestly? It's more to cure their whining than anything. Because, yeah, some of that stuff doesn't heal, you just re-adjust. 8|

Best of luck, that sucks. *hugs*
