A member asked:

Do you think i should keep putting a bandage on my sprained foot?

4-6 weeks: A sprain is an injury of the ligaments of your foot and/or ankle. It will usually take 4-6 weeks to heal and during that time a bandage like an ace wrap will be helpful to control swelling and limit excess motion. Have your podiatrist evaluate your injury if more treatment is needed.

Ace bandage: An ace bandage may help to minimize the edema and provide more stability to the area.
