I sprained my ankle yesterday while playing badminton but after 10 mins rest I was able to walk by giving less string to my sprained ankle. We even went out for dinner but now it's very painful today morning and I m keeping my leg on a pillow. Swelling around ankle is there and when I move my fingers,it pains a bit.do I need to visit a doc ?

It's good to visit orthopedic to rule out sprain and fracture Until you visit him you can ice the area every hour, wrap the ace wrap, and elevate the leg.
