How painful is it walk on a sprained ankle hours after injuring it?
February 7th, 2010 | by admin |If you sprain your ankle and then stay off of it for about 6 hours and try to walk on it again. How painful should that be?
That definitely depends on the severity of the injury. If it is a mild injury (grade 1), you will probably be able to walk on with some discomfort hours after injury. Often times you continue on with your game or walk, or whatever you were doing prior to injury.
If it is a moderate injury (grade 2) you may be able to walk a bit after, but there will be definite discomfort, as the ligament is partially torn.
A severe injury (grade 3) you probably won’t be able to walk. The ligament is completely torn and the ankle may even feel unstable.
This is generally… always exceptions to this!
Hope you get better soon.

I don’t think you can walk on it because as the hour passes by the more it becomes really painful and swollen. Go see a doctor or a professional who is deals with sprains and dislocated bones and the likes.
