Ortho: If there is no improvement in treating your problem as a strain then yes. You may also want to review why this is happening so frequently. All the best.

Yes: I would. In cases of more severe sprains where people repeatedly sprain their ankle, we will sometimes put them in a cast for a few weeks. There is also the possibility that your injury was more than a simple "sprain".
