Ankle tensor

Hi so I have had some mild ankle problems recently nothing serious just off and on pain it has started to go away but I bought an elastic ankle support tensor anyways I am planing to wear it when my ankle hurts as well as during gym class ( we do lots of running and working out ) and during other activities like running would doing this help anything and could it hurt anything . I know this isn't very specific but generally speaking would it hurt anything or would it prevent it hurting. Thanks in advance

Rest your ankle when it is in pain. The worst thing you could do is skate on an ankle which needs resting. Here is a link to a video which takes you through relieving your ankle's pain:

Also, have you thought of seeing a doctor/physio? It is best to see one, because it could be something serious. Anyway, I hope your ankle gets well soon.
