Ankle twist

2018-01-01 06:32:18
One week before I had fallen from a step and right leg is twisted. Not able to walk due to pain. Applied bam on the affected area. Consulted orthopedist, Xray was taken and doctor said there is sprain in ligament, no fracture. And crepe bandage was worn for one week . after I was able to walk removed bandage . now I only wear it at night. But when I tried to stretch the leg or climb upstairs there was pain . I have a 4 day trip this week. What to do? Am I able to go for the trip?

Ankle sprain needs immobilisation of involved ankle, which is be possible with a slab/cast for 3-4 weeks.

Crepe bandage is of no use in terms of immobilisation.
