Should I still use crutches?

Question

So i sprained my ankle on Tuesday the 19th, I've gotten an x-ray and its just a back sprain. it doesn't really hurt that much when I walk on it with my air cast on but if i touch my ankle it hurts. Should i walk around in the air cast without crutches or still stick to crutches for a few more days? By the way my ankle is still a little bit swollen but not much.

Answer 1

well most people get along fine with only a cast when its a sprain just be careful about the pressure you put on it.

Answer 2

I think putting pressure on your ankle is not a good idea, your ankle is hurt and it has to recover from the sprain, is better to use crutches a few days, no chance, I know that cructhes can be annoying but when we need it, we need it. Your ankle wil not reduce the swelling too much if you continue putting pressure on your ankle... Good luck and  hope this helped.

Answer 3

Use your crutches until your DOCTOR tells you to stop.
