Depends: Many athletes will continue to play on a mild ankle sprain with taping or racing. For recreational athletes there is no reason to play thru pain as it only delays healing and risks greater injury. If it hurts to best weight, then it. Should be checked.

No: If you have significant pain, you should rest the area. Ankle braces to however help support the area by applying compression and restricting the range of motion. Consult with your physician whether or not you would benefit with using a brace with your type of injury.
