Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

ace bandage, but dont use crutches. your ankle will heal faster ar only use them alittle. plus using them kills your arms.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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)
