i did the exact same thing like 3 years ago. ice, and time are the only things yuo can do, min hurt for like almost a year. i advise to get the 1080 boots if you dont already have them, they are the best thing yuo can do to help your ankle. just chill and dont ride for like 1 week (and get 1080's)

only get them if they are right for your feet. Salomon boots tend to be sorta universal, yet, they still arent as good as having a really well fitting boot.
