My ankle is sprained. should i go and get it casted and use crutches or ace bandage and crutches?



Answer:    First maybe have it x ray'd to be sure its a sprain. If its not broken then I would ace it and if needed crutches :O).
you'll want to wait a couple days after the injury took place before wrapping it as you do not want to restrict the swelling. Keep icing for about 24-48 hours, 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off and keep your ankle elevated whenever possible. ace bandage and crutches! getting casted isnt neccesary for a sprain and if you do get it casted it will smell because you cant wash it..
ace bandage, but dont use crutches. your ankle will heal faster ar only use them alittle. plus using them kills your arms.
