hi
The sprained ankle should be immobilized in an ankle brace or by strapping and avoidance of weight bearing or partial weight bearing may be done. Take a walking cane in opposite hand (right hand) so that during stance phase weight shifts to cane from the affected side. !0 days to 3 weeks immobilization will heal sprain
thanks
