Actor Wesley Snipes has been released from a federal prison where he was serving a three-year sentence after being convicted on tax charges in February 2010. The release to a supervised residential location in New York occurred Tuesday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons told CNN.
The ankle is the most commonly injured joint, according to a 2009 âAmerican Family Physicianâ article. The repetitive flexion and extension of your ankle during walking can lead to pain and injury -- or it can aggravate an existing condition. Ankle pain can be a symptom of an ankle sprain, osteoarthritis and tendinitis. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs, rest, and ice.
To reduce inflammation and the resulting swelling and pain, injured tissue needs to be properly treated. The earlier you start treatment, the better. Initial treatment for acute inflammation in the foot or ankle consists of RICE therapy: Rest: Stay off the foot or ankle. Walking may cause further injury. Ice: Apply an ice pack to the injured area, placing a thin towel between the ice and the skin. Use ice for 20 minutes and then wait at least 40 minutes before icing again. Compression: An elastic wrap should be used to control swelling.
