Yep, I'd try some of that Ibuprofen gel on the site, and concur with m'learned friend, not too much ice, but certainly rest and elevation. Hills are out, sadly. P2P reminded my own ankle straps what heavy hillage can do.
Speaking of ankle straps, are there any sports bandages designed to assist this type of strain? I recall wearing such a beast a while back. They strap around the heel, under the foot and around the ankle. May be worth a dig about.
