  • Sprained ankle= boot

    Dh xrayed my ankle and its not broken. Yay!!! One of the nurses got me a boot that goes to the mid calf. Do that always do boots for sprains? Will it heal faster in a boot?

    They don't always get a boot but it is a good thing for immobilizing, easier than a cast put more support than an ace bandage.

      Thanks! It's actually been great so far. With it on I can walk enough to take care of everyone without crutches. That's awesome! Probably shouldn't be on it as much as I am, but what can you do?

        Awww... this sounds like it is still no fun- even if you can still walk around. Hope you feel better fast!

          When you finally get a chance to get off it, try to elevate and ice when possible.
