A member asked:
Hi i sprained my ankle over two weeks ago the ankle is still very swollen and i can't really walk on it still, should i go back to the doctors?

GO BACK: Ankle sprains are so undertreated, it appears worldwide. Get x-rays, if you haven't yet. You should be on crutches with a good compressive wrap; something better than an Ace bandage. If it's not treated properly early, sometimes pain and instability linger for months.
