Ankle pain question. Please help!?!


Question: Ankle pain question. Please help!?
Is there a way I can wrap or immobilize my ankle using household products? It really hurts but I don't have an ace bandage or anything like that so what can I do? What are some duplicates of braces or bandages I could use?

First of all, I wouldn't recommend using household items as braces because this can actually cause more damage then good .__.

What you need is an Ankle brace. They are typically sold at pharmacy's & are all made of of this stretchy material that supports & allows your ankle to move & breathe.

You can use a clean rag or a cut T-shirt for a brace but it wont allow it to breath & it could also cut off some circulation.

Sprained both my ankles in both directions xD

It was brutal .__.



Pretty much you'd need something like an ace bandage to wrap it up in. You could also go to the drugstore and buy an ankle brace of some sort

I have sprained & twisted my ankles numerous times



you could cut up an old t-shirt or pillow case or towel to be like an ace wrap
