What to do for a possible sprained ankle?

Get evaluated: I would recommend seeing a doctor. You should have an xray to make sure it's only a sprain and not worse. If it's truly a sprain, your doctor may immobilize you in an ankle brace, offload with crutches, and recommend simple things like rice therapy; rest, ice, compression wraps and elevation.

Sprained ankle: It depends on the level of injury. Some patients only need an ankle brace to wear with their own shoe while other patients may need full cast immobilization. Getting an exam will give you the best diagnosis and treatment plan for you!
