Should I stay on my crutches?

(1 post)
  1. I messed up my right ankle pretty bad on Friday and it was really swollen. I iced it and slept through the night and it shrunk considerably. Today I've iced it on and off too and it's gone down but comparing it to my other ankle it's huge. My parents have been telling me all kinds of different things to do and it's getting really annoying. It's a bad sprain. I talked to the doctor over the phone and they said to stay on but it doesn't really hurt to walk on it's more of an annoying pain. It gets worse when I try to walk on it after icing it for a while, and getting out of bed after a night of sleep. I can't run at all on it. The doctor said to go in on Monday if it didn't heal up. I don't know what to do, should I stay on the crutches or not?
