I severely sprained my ankle this past saturday. It has been 4 days. I have had 2 x-rays, both negative (2 days apart) for fracture. I go to my general doctor in 2 days for a follow up exam, and to see if we can tell how bad the ligament damage is. It is black/blue/purple over almost my whole foot/ankle area. The swelling has come down a lot as I used the RICE treatment so far. The doctors put me on crutches, but I am unable to use them, so I have a "knee walker" and it gives me much relief to walk and have mobility back. My question is, what am I looking at in time for me to bear weight and walk again. As of right now, I can gently put my foot on the ground without pain, but can put no pressure on it. I am getting frustrated, and I do know it has only been 4 days, but I am not used to having to limit myself so much. Thanks in advance!
