A member asked:
I have a 'functional' sprained ankle. i can walk on it without pain but without the bandage and brace it keep swelling. should i unwrap it at bedtime?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ankle sprain: The decision to keep it wrapped or unwrapped at night is based on what is most comfortable while you sleep. Some people prefer support if they move around in bed during the night and some people find it more comfortable to have nothing on the ankle. Neither choice will affect overall recovery time just personal preference. Hope this help. Take care, Joe Wilson
