What I should add to this would be to wrap the ankle before PT if at all possible. Since you are using the term PT, I assume you have access to a base pharmacy and MIR. Pick up some Coban. Its really great stuff; self-adherent, thin tensor bandages stuff.

The wrap will prevent the swelling.

PRICE works great for most soft tissue injuries. Originally developed for ankles, but pick and choose the rational elements for the injury at hand.

Protection, Painkillers
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate
