I want to scare my grandmother into thinking i have a sprained ankle. The first thing you do is get a pair of crutches, my grandmother is a Retired Nurse, so she has a lot that's why have a pair. You can get some at any Medical supply store it may be in your local town. After that, you will need to get a ace bandage, make sure it has little things you can clip them with. You can also get that at a medical supply store. Then, you want to get the leg you want to do it on and take that shoe off, i am doing my left leg so i am going to take my left shoe off. Later, you will want to wrap your leg carefully around your leg, then clip it tight. Make sure while the person your doing it on is gone and gone for at least 4-5 hours or even 6. Cause if there gone for only a couple hours and you were fine when they left then there going to think something is up plus when you really sprain you ankle you are at the hospital for that long. Finally, when they get home don't be walking on your foot and say that you were running down the stairs or something like that and make sure no buddy going to spoil it for you. That is how you can make a sprained ankle.

Do I need crutches if my acute ankle injury hurts too much to walk?
If it is too painful to walk on an injured foot or ankle, crutches or some kind of cane should be used. While pain is a normal part of the healing process, it can also be an indicator that a follow up trip to the doctor is needed.

How can you fix a major ankle injury?
First you have to make sure that you didn't break you ankle. Most are either strained or sprained. There are 3 ligaments on the outside of the ankle and 2 on the inside. Usually twisting the ankle outward is the most common. You need to apply ice to the ankle. It will hurt as the ice cools but eventually become numb. You will need a few things to wrap the ankle 1. Cloth like a T-shirt ( old ) that you can layer cut and make a 4 inch x 4 inch x 3/4 inch pad. cut a horseshoe hole on one side and throught the middle. This will need to be placed on the ankle with the horseshoe hole pointing up surrounding the ankle bone. Then wrap an ACE bandage starting above the toes in a figure of eight pattern making sure not to wrap it too tightly. wrap the ACE up to about 6-8 inches above the ankle. The horseshoe pad will eliminate the bad swelling that will happen soon and will improve healing time. Elevate the foot higher than the heart. This will reduce the swelling. RISE is the formula I have used with the Navy SEAL teams Rest, Ice, Sedative (Motrin), Elevation. Note make sure that circulation is getting to the foot by squeezing the big toe and releasing it watch the color come back in the nail bed it should be within 1-2 seconds. If not loosen the bandage. Take Motrin, Aspirin, Advil, Nuprin. All of these have an anti-inflammatory affect and will also help in keeping down the swelling. In a couple of days you will notice a nasty purple bruise on the outside of the foot below the ankle. This is the result of broken capillaries and the blood pooling to the bottom of your foot. Start applying body weight as tolerated. You may need crutches ( GoodWill usually has a ton of them for about 2 bucks).

Do you need crutches for a sprained ankle?
Yes as when you have a sprained ankle you can't put pressure on your foot if your foot is severly sprained. I would recomend getting crutches but (if you don't want to wear crutches you can wear an ankle brace where you can get from any store) only use them for about 3-7 days and start trying to walk and do muscle exercises. You can get crutches from a pharmacy/drug store. Hope this helps.
