A member asked:

Should my sprained ankle still be unable to bear weight one week later?

Yes: Aby sprain that is more than mild will take more time to heal. You should use a support until there is no pain. It can take as long as 6-8 weeks to heal.

Possibly: For a more severe sprain, weightbearing may take several weeks. I would recommend evaluation by a specialist to make sure you only have a sprain.
