I sprained my ankle what can i do and will it heal on its own?

Ankle Sprain: It may heal on its own with rest, ice, compression and elevation and a gradual return to your normal activities. However, a period of time in a boot or use of crutches may be necessary depending on the severity. A physical exam by an orthopedic physician will better be able to determine your appropriate course of treatment. Hope this helps and good luck!

Sprained ankles: Sprained ankles are ligament injuries and they can range from minimal to severe (the ligament is torn in two. As dr. Galland said, sprains heal on their own but, with more severe sprains, things are going to be more comfortable and heal faster with non-bearing and immobilization. An evaluation from a doctor will help sort that out.
