Ankle Injury

I'm suffering from an ankle injury that's kept me off the bike for over a week now. I hate injuries it not only keeps you off the bike but makes everything else in your life miserable as well. I suffered this injury by stepping off a porch onto uneven ground. I felt my ankle roll over and then a slight pain. I should have stopped right there and started icing it. No, I'm too tough and in denial for that. This way of dealing with paining injury was ingrained into me by my athletic coaches when I was a kid, especially football coaches. When you've been hurt so bad you're laying on the ground rolling in agony they'll say "Come on, your not hurt get up and shake it off." Naturally I jump up trying not to show the pain in fear of being humiliated by the coach and teased by my teammates. You'd think I'd be over it by now. I've been managing the pain and swelling with medication along with ice and heat. I hope to be back on the bike soon.
