Good Karate lesson last night - I've almost picked up Heian Yondan now; there's just one bit I'm completely lost on, and there are a couple of places where I tend to go into the wrong stance even though I know what the right one actually is. However I sprained my ankle slightly. It's now feeling a bit stiff rather than actively painful but I'm trying to keep weight off it nonetheless.

If it's just a bit stiff you're probably much better off actually using it.

(Certainly when I sprained my ankle the doctor advised me to keep moving it -- gently at first, with special stretching exercises etc., then more normally as it got better -- and use a walking-stick until I could put weight on the foot properly. And that was, according to the doctor, "a bad sprain".)

For minor sprains I've found the tubigrip-type bandages work really well. (When I was playing a lot of Ultimate, I turned my ankle a little once a month or so. I should get back to playing more, but...)
