Yes, most people can walk with a subluxated ankle. However, it can cause severe pain with “wear and tear” of your muscles and joints. You might also cause low back pain. It is also possible that you may experience fatigue while walking or running faster.
Should not.
It is not recommended due to the potential of damaging ligaments and tendons.
No, you will need to seek help immediately.
If the ankle is truly dislocated, do not walk on it. Go to urgent care immediately.
Yes, but with a great deal of pain. See a chiropractor for this.
Any concern about dislocation or fracture should be ruled out with evaluation medically and with possible Xrays or other diagnostic tests. These cases should be seen first at a ER or Urgent care. Fracture or dislocations should be treated medical. After resolution of the condition or ruling out of fracture or dislocation then it can be determined if conservative care can be instituted.
