Ankle sprain + hike coming up?

Foot & Ankle Brace
I have a 15K hike coming up on tuesday going up steep hills and downhills + carrying 80 pound pack. I have been battling a moderate foot sprain all week, how should I treat it for the hike? IBprofen and brace??

I’d say stay off of it as often as possible until the hike. Spend a lot of time taking care of it. Ice it, heat it, do whatever you have to do. Ibuprofen will help with the pain, but it’s not going to help heal it at all. The best thing you can do at this point is stay off of it and hope that it doesn’t hurt too bad by Tuesday. Goodluck
