Bandages Braces Do I Need Crutches For My Sprained Ankle?

Do I need crutches for my sprained ankle? - bandages braces

I rolled my ankle to the inside and saw the doctor. It does not appear to harm the bones, I have to use crutches, or an elastic bandage or splint is enough enough?

no. It is better to walk on it so it does not harden and hurt more.
Oh, and wrap it well. Make sure the rice.

I did the same .. twice for the first time that I only used an anti-inflammatory .. For the second time I chose to use crutches and seemed to heal more quickly, because they got a break, even if my arm hurt.

Not if your MD does not wrap the ankle Don 't you surround them. Ice packs alternating heat and go out. Take Tylenol if you have allergies to it for pain.

Well, what your doctor say ???... A foot stirrup boot, or would support the ankle is much better choice.Ankle corset top, or will be .. next election and wrap it as my last option .. there is not much support, etc. May and swelling of the feet.
