Ankle sprain
I sprained my left foot ankle on 14th Aug. I have mild to moderate swelling and no pain when I am resting. Just a feeling of stiffness. I am on bed rest since then and will continue till 21st Aug as per doctor's advice. I have 2 upcoming travels (Mumbai and Ladakh) on 26th August for 3 days and 16th Sept for 10 days. Both travels involve travelling in cars and flights and walking for sight seeing. All air tickets and stays are booked and I will incur loses if I cancel.
Will my ankle heal till that time. What precautions should I take if I am traveling?
