Ankle sprained 17april, no fracture.taking antiflamatory drugs. my follow up is 26apr must i for it or go and see an orthopedic surgeon soon?

Ankle sprain: Ankle Sprains sometimes take time to resolve because people walk on them. Depending on the type of sprain it may take weeks of slow recovery. It is unclear s to why you are asking to see an orthopedic since there is no report of your present symptoms A second opinion is a great way to see another point of view but is unclear if it is needed
