@johnbishop I'm glad you're doing well, John. I don't know if this could help you for wrapping your ankle, but wraps for horses work pretty well and are inexpensive. I have some wrapping my foot right now because my horse stepped on me yesterday. It's not bad and I was able to pull my foot out before most of his weight was on it, and it bruised the top near my big toe. It was starting to swell a little, so I wrapped it with the stretchy horse wrap I had in my gear bag and still went for a ride, and it just aches a little bit. The rolls of wrap come in lots of colors and it sticks to itself without being sticky, and is easy to apply. You can get that were they sell horse supplies and probably find it locally.

Big Ouch! @jenniferhunter. I did order an ankle wrap that includes a hot/cold gel pack and also has a small hand compression pump to make it tight around the ankle/foot. Hoping it arrives today! Until then I've been Icing & elevating it over the lunch hour and then in the evening. The swelling has been down a little the last two mornings which is good. Now all I have to do is find a Myofascial Release therapist that is in the Rochester, MN area. I've found a few wellness therapist that say they do it but I have no idea if they are certified. I have issues with lower back pain (more of an ache than sharp pain) that makes walking a little uncomfortable and difficult even though the feet work well now ☺
