Let an old guy add some advice. I broke my ankle in Ranger School as a young 2LT. There was no way I was going to go thru that again so I laced up my boots as tight as I could and completed the last two weeks without ever taking my boot off. I have paid the price for that many times over with repeated sprains, strains and minor breaks because it obviously never healed correctly. I am still paying the price for physical excesses throughout my career because I sort of thought that toughing it out was more important than common sense. Now I am still a little short of common sense, but there is no reason that you should be. Give it the time to let it heal.
