Should I work with a sprained ankle?!
Question: Should I work with a sprained ankle!?
This ankle hurts like a total b*tch whenever I'm standing up on it for more than 30 minutes at a time!. 7 hours a day of constant standing up isn't going to make matters better!. I go back to work tomorrow after my doctor told me to stay off work for 5 days, but it's not any better!. Should I quit my job or tell them I'm going to need another month!? I want to work but at the same time I'm worried my sprained ankle might get alot worse!.

if ur thinking about quiting ur job i doubt that it is because of a sprained ankle!.!.!. if u dont like where u are working then do ur self and the company a favor and quit!.!.!.
however, if ur ankle really is still bothering u then call ur doctor and tell him that u honestly dont think that u can be on ur foot for the 7hours that ur job requires and that u need a few more days to rest ur ankle!.!.!. but i doubt that u will be given a month off!.!.!. also if ur ankle feels weak then u may want to ask ur doc if he wants u to start PT
i wasnt trying to imply that u didnt want to work or anything like that!.!.!. if ur ankle is really still bothering u then u need to contact ur doctor!.!.!. quiting is not the answer, UNLESS u really hate ur job then quit but dont use ur ankle as an excuseWww@Answer-Health@Com

Haven't you had a recheck with your doc!? Sprains take much longer to heal than fractures and can leave your ankle weakened and more prone to injury!. Wearing a gel ankle brace really helps but not the standing for 7 hours!. I don't know if your boss will allow you to rest every couple of hours or possible sit while you do your job, if that is possible!. I would definitely call the doctor who saw you and tell him that you're not much better!. He can give you more advise and a note for work!. If however your job would be at risk, and you can afford looking for a new job, then I would recommend caring for your ankle before worrying about the job!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
do not quit your job over a sprained ankle !. if the pain is that bad go back to the doctor and say you can not manage at work at the moment as you will be standing for seven hrs !. !. just give your doctor a call even another week might make a big difference !. just rest your foot !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I wouldn't quit, just take a crutches and be as careful as you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
