Depends: on the severity. If severe pain, swelling and difficulty walking,see Specialist who will properly diagnose and treat.

IT DEPENDS: It depends upon the severity of the injury, and each doctor's individual philosophy of treatment. Sincerely, Dr. Latva

Do ya feel lucky...: The question, other than the severity of the sprain, is just how much activity are you planning on doing on you foot after the sprain. Even a mild sprain will not hold up to activity that pushes the limits of healing. So I ask you, do you feel lucky, well, do ya?? It seems to fit here. Ala Mr. Clint Eastwood.
