How long should you wait after going to the doctor before going back with an ankle sprain?

It depends on how bad the sprain is but generally stay off it for a few days. If it hurts to walk on it's still healing so don't walk on it too much. Only run after it is not painful to jump or walk on.

Should they give me a brace if i sprained my ankle?
In my opinion, you should go with a brace if your sprain is minor. However, if you or your doctor feels it is a bad sprain, I suggest crutches for 2-5 days. After that, if it still doesn't feel better, you might have a worse condition, and should then go to the doctor immediately. Hope this helps!

Ankle sprain - series?
Normal anatomyThe ankle joint connects the foot with the leg. The ankle joint allows the foot to move upward and downward and in an inward and outward motion. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments surround the ankle providing the stability the ankle joint needs for walking and running.Type I ankle sprainThe most common way the ankle can be injured is by an ankle sprain. When an ankle is sprained ligaments on the ankle are either stretched, partially torn or completely torn. The most common type of sprain is an inversion injury, where the foot is rotated inward. Ankle sprains can range from mild, to moderate, and severe. Type 1 ankle sprain is a mild sprain. It occurs when the ligaments have been stretched or torn minimally.Type II ankle sprainType II ankle sprain is a moderate level of sprain. It occurs when some of the fibers of the ligaments are torn completely.Type III ankle sprainType III ankle sprain is the most severe ankle sprain. It occurs when the entire ligament is torn and there is great instability of the ankle joint.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/01/2011Linda J.
