Yes as when you have a sprained ankle you can't put pressure on your foot if your foot is severly sprained. I would recomend getting crutches but (if you don't want to wear crutches you can wear an ankle brace where you can get from any store) only use them for about 3-7 days and start trying to walk and do muscle exercises. You can get crutches from a pharmacy/drug store. Hope this helps.
What else can I help you with?
Should they give me a brace if i sprained my ankle?
In my opinion, you should go with a brace if your sprain is minor. However, if you or your doctor feels it is a bad sprain, I suggest crutches for 2-5 days. After that, if it still doesn't feel better, you might have a worse condition, and should then go to the doctor immediately. Hope this helps!
Does a twisted ankle need crutches?
It depends on you. If there's no fracture, than you don't need crutches unless you want crutches. If you feel you cannot walk easily/ step on your sprained ankle at all, than you should get crutches. If you can limp around just fine, then there is no reason to get crutches.

How bad does it hurt to sprain ankle?
A sprained ankle can hurt one person and not another. It just depends on a few things. First, it can depend on how sensitive you are to pain. My brother broke his arm in 3 places and did not cry, and when I fell off my bike and scraped my knee I was crying. There are 3 types of sprained ankles: grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3. If you get a grade 1 ankle, you typically will have a little pain, swelling, and tenderness. With grade 1, the ligament is stretched or the fibers of the ligaments are ripped a little. You can tolerate putting your weight on it. With grade 2, some of the fibers are torn but not all of them so there is a big increase in pain, swelling, and tenderness. You usually will have difficulty putting pressure on that ankle. Grade 3 is the worse. The ligament is torn, and you can't put weight on it without a lot of pain. There is a lot of swelling and tenderness. You will need to stay off it (though you should stay off of any sprained ankle). Remember RICE (Rest (stay off of it), Ice (20-30min), Compression (Ace bandage), and Elevation (for first 48 hours)). A broken or fractured ankle/ foot can free the same as a sprained ankle (there are similar symptoms), so it can be quite painful to have a sprained ankle.

How do you treat a grade 1 ankle sprain?
A grade 1 ankle sprain, which involves mild stretching or slight tearing of the ligaments, can be treated using the RICE method: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Rest the ankle and avoid activities that cause pain, apply ice for 15-20 minutes every few hours to reduce swelling, use a compression bandage to limit swelling and provide support, and elevate the ankle above heart level when possible. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also help manage discomfort. Most grade 1 sprains heal within a few days to a week with proper care.
How long should you wait after going to the doctor before going back with an ankle sprain?
It depends on how bad the sprain is but generally stay off it for a few days. If it hurts to walk on it's still healing so don't walk on it too much. Only run after it is not painful to jump or walk on.
