Question

Is it a bad idea to go snowboarding on a sprained ankle?

Answer 1

It's certainly not a good idea. You could do further damage to it.

Answer 2

if you want a trip to the ER.

Go for itt!

Answer 3

Yes definitely - you will make it worse. I dont think you want to snowboard this weekend that bad!

Answer 4

Do the smart thing....load up on pain meds and go for it!  Then you can claim disability and sit on your azz for the rest of your worthless ignorant life!

Answer 5

Its not the brightest thought in the world, your ankle won't behave as you want it to and your balance will be a bit off.

It will take longer to heal and repeating an injury may mean it never heals properly.

Put off immediate gratification for long term gain, wait a couple of weeks.

Answer 6

Uh, yeah. You could permanently mess that ankle up or get a much worse injury. tear muscles etc....

Yes, no wait.....just try it and see what happens lol

Yes, give the sprain time to heal.  If you go snowboarding now, you could risk the chance of permanent damage to your ankle.
