back when i was a senior in high school i was at basketball practice and i was coming down off the rim and my right foot landed on a basketball, well it didn't hurt at first so i ripped my shoe off....big mistake, it started to swell up so bad that i had a huge kankle and i couldn't feel my foot, my trainer went and got me crutches....after i limped down to the middle school and found her, it was a level 3 sprain, my whole leg up to my knee was shades f black, blue, green, purple and yellow my tendons were stretched out about 3 inches and it was horrible, but after soaking it in a combination of ice water/ burning hot water it was ready to go in 4 weeks, and i was lucky that it happened right before Christmas break so i only missed 4 games
