I think I sprained my left ankle while getting off the dipping bar today. It's not a serious sprain. I can walk about pretty normally and even run up the stairs, BW squat/etc w/o pain. But when I move my feet in certain angles or apply pressure on the outside of the bone that sticks out at the ankle(I think it's the fibula?) I can feel the pain...

What should I do to speed up its recovery. Ice packs?

Also, since there's no pain in most positions, should I still be deliberately resting it, for example staying off squats or calf stretches and ankle mobility drills?
