Does a sprain require me to be on bedrest?
A sprain does not require you to be on bed rest. If your doctor did not intend for you to put any weight at all on your ankle, he/she would’ve given you crutches to ambulate with. In most cases, it is OK to toe touch weight bear which means you can touch your toes to the ground to stabilize yourself while walking. Long periods of inactivity, including bed rest, can lead to the development of blood clots in your legs. READ MORE
