Question

i just sprained my ankle about 30 min ago

right now im on ice.

but i have football tryouts in 2 days.

should i go play thru the pain or talk to the coach about it.

cause i really want to be on the team

Answer 1

you got 2 choices one talk to him and not play or not tell him and have the pain and make it worse for yourself. i would talk to him and say that you have the skill to play but need time to heal...sprains can heal in 1 to 4 weeks. I would keep it in an Ace bandage for many weeks, if necessary. Keep the ankle elevated, when possible. Use ice for at least 24 hours...sorry... dude

Answer 2

Talk to your coach. You don't want to injure your ankle more because it will take longer for it to heal.
