one, you don't wear crutches lol
two, it depends how bad your sprain is
I'm a dancer, so I'm messing up my ankle all the time.
one time i did a simple ice pack and wore an ace bandage when i did activity.
another time i had to wear a boot and couldn't dance for 3 months.
it just depends how bad your sprain is and what type it is.
just be careful because if you hurt your already sprained ankle, it'll hurt you a lot worse then if you would of stayed off of it

When I sprained my ankle, I did need crutches. However, I had a really bad sprain (almost a break). It really dependsd on how bad the sprain is. It also depends on how painful it is to walk and put pressure on the ankle.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Not really. Just try to not keep a lot of pressure on it. It really depends how bad you sprained your ankle too. Just ice it and keep pressure off it as much as possible.

Really depends on how bad the sprain. You should consult a doctor.

No, only if your ankle cannot support any weight on it, will you need crutches.

Depends on how bad the sprain is. I would go to webmd and ask.

Depends on your weight and how agile you are. If you are really big and top heavy, the doctor may prescribe them just to keep you from falling. If you're small or average size, likely not... maybe a medical boot.

You do not wear crutches, you use them. Read " how to repair old injuries" Helium.com-health&fitness/exercise. Works on new injuries too.
