It does, especially if you do it right before you skate.

You can use a towel or anything else like that.

go for mid to high top shoes i rolled my ankle and its swollen all the time now did it like a year ago doing a a flip down a set of stair, best advice is to were mid to highs and tie them up even if it does look stupid i personally wear vans tnt 2 mids and half cabs and they are really good at supporting your ankle. if you roll while skating just duct tape a support style bandage out of the tape on to your ankle works a charm

plus when i re roll my ankles its usally when im not skating which sucks!!

That sucks, but I'm in the same boat. In May I rolled my ankle really badly, and to be quite honest it never really stopped hurting until pretty recently. Then Monday I heard a pop when I landed funny. It wasn't as bad, and that night I iced and heated the hell out of it, but I haven't skated since.

I've pretty much accepted that it's probably going to be a nagging injury. Hopefully I'll be skating tomorrow

Ironically, I rolled my ankle really bad on a 4 stair on tuesday.
=D
I have two metal legs now.
It's still swollen.
I can't even lift it up all the way, and it's hard to lift it as far as I do.
