Boo hoo what do you do about torn ligaments and a bruised, swollen, sprained ankle?

It depends on the severity of the tear, if it is a partial tear then time and physical therapy will help regenerate the ligament. If it is a complete tear then you will need to see an ortho for a consult to see if it requires surgery...my boyfriend completely tore his anterior talofibular ligament in his ankle x-mas week and dr said he need surgery but he just wears a brace and it is doing much better...
