clean socks and some Motrin and he'll be good to go

Rub some dirt in it and get back out there.

Rush it back now, it'll be reoccurring. Get somebody to check this out.

They are great and specialize in young athletes.

I can also recommend Healthy Baller They have several PTs that are great. They also have a great staff of performance coaches as well. My son did his ACL rehab there and is now playing college soccer without the need of a brace.

Greater Washington Orthopedic Group is amazing if you wanted an official opinion.

I was a soccer player for 20 years (female) and had tons of strained ankles. I’m of the same mindset as your husband.

I rolled my ankle this week stepping off curb to avoid someone and back to everything at 51.

If there is something else going on (my son had a growth plate fracture in ankle at 10) it won’t get better and you’ll know. But I was told even playing on it then was more of a nuisance than long term damage. They put a cast on 3 weeks and 5 years later he’s never had an issue.

I grew up in the “walk it off” era😂

I wouldn’t rush back too quickly as re-injury can occur especially at the ankles. I typically let it rest for a week depending upon the severity of the ankle sprains.

Go to an orthopedic and they will tell you what to do.

I wouldn't wear a brace. If it feel OK, have him continue to strengthen and work on range of motion with balancing on a Bosu ball or something equally unstable.
