text: i have a sore ankle should i try to work out or wait til its better? i think i pulled the tendons or something like that it hurts to touch it and when i walk would pushing myself to workout make it worse or better? ice it love. keep it up with a pillow, if its brused and swollen wrap it wih a ace bandage if it makes crunching sounds when you move it or if it look deformed get you sweet butt in and get a xray.
