What Is The Treatment For A Sprained Ankle?
I went to an er for a sprained ankle.. they took xrays but the Dr didn't even examine me and just sent me home with an ace bandage. I work with med students on a daily basis and they can't believe it. It's been a week and I can't put any weight on it.

Dear Sir,
If there is no evidence of fracture then a crepe bandage , adequate rest and antiinflammtories will be the best treatment . But ligament injury needs to be ruled out.
