 the first thing is to put a bandage pretty tight around it to prevent
inner bleedings. Keep it on for 30 minutes, keep your foot high, and
put ice on it. Remove it to get the blood flowing again, and then put
it on again for another 30 minutes, keep your foot high and keep the
ice there. Then you tape your ankle after a very intricate schedule,
and you can start training again, not the same level, but very soft...

 How to prevent them? Run on a track or on asphalt, and not in the woods..
