Ask mgr 4 alternate: There might be other tasks you can do while you heal. Ask the manager. I imagine Sonic would not like to be responsible for your doing further damage and it sounds like it is a risk. Also, I don't mean to be cavalier w/ your job - but it's not a critical first responder thing. If you don't heal well, your next 60-80 yrs quality of life could be at stake. I'd play it safe.

Probably best not to: There are many different degrees of ankle sprains. But if you are unable to walk on your toes( heels off the ground) without pain , a sensation of weakness you are not ready to put on the skates and or walk around without a brace on.
