Lower your seat to minimize ankle flex and get back on the bike 
Sorry to hear it. Ankle sprains can be a really nagging injury.

Pain meds are never unnecessary......they make recovery time on the couch more entertaining

I can understand why those who need it for extender periods, due to very serious injuries, can become addicted. The absolute calm and contentment certainly has an allure.

Making a kilometer blurry
Man, that really sucks. I hope it heals enough to get back on the bike quickly.

The doctor gave me the standard, couch-potato recovery window of 6 weeks.
There's no pain now and the swelling is going down. It already feels fairly stable but I'm going to take it easy for a few days to be safe. After than a little rehab.
As snuff said, ankles can be a naggin' injury and I'm already married.

This is what happens when bike racers begin to believe that they have the skills to participate in "sports" that require a ball and stick. This includes golf. Stay away from these activities.
Having an ankle that has a limited range of motion, please...ice the heck out of it then make sure you get some rehab. While you're doing all that get well.
