Suggest Treatment For Severe Ankle Aprain
Hi! I sprained my ankle this week and although it is a minor sprain, ti still hurts a lot! It is strapped which helped and I kept off it for a whole day which I think also helped. It is less sore now, but I am worried about going to school next week. My school has heaps of stairs and my ankle is most sore after a school day. Do I need crutches? Thank you! Joy

Dear patient
If your ankle is sprained you need to give rest to it for at least 3 weeks. Tii the time it has to be protected in brace. This is the minimal time required for sprained ligaments to heal. If you do not take proper rest your pain will become chronic. You will get rest certificate from your doctor for same period so don't worry about school. All the best.
