go to the try outs and explain to them the situation, maybe they will let u re schedual!. I would say give it a bit more than a week, u dont want to rush into things and hurt youself again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am going to suggest that you go to a clinic that specializes in Sports Injury physiotherapy!. One of our dance instructors hurt his ankle in the garden (he has not lived it down yet) and was told by his doctor that he would be on crutches for 6 weeks!. He went to the local university the same day and told them his story and they started him on therapy and he walked out of the clinic without the crutches!. He did have to take it careful for a number of weeks, but that was over 10 years ago, and he has not had any problems since!. However, make sure that you listen to them, if it does not heal properly you can do permanent damage to your ankle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well i think you answered your own question!. unfortunatly i don't think you can try out on a sprained ankle!. you could try, but you probably wouldnt make the team and you would be risking injuring your ankle further!.

and in a week when you can walk, i would say you would MOSTLY be perfectly normal again, i'm right handed and when i sprained my right wrist my writing was a little bit messier afterward!. ;]Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am so sorry!!!! I know how you feel!.!.!.Anyway, you will be able to do all your normal activities in a week or two!. Don't do anything extra and keep it wrapped!. I sprained my wrist and it was my writing hand!.

It will heal just don't do that mush with it, good luck!
You should be able to do everything normally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try talking to the people in charge of the audition!. they may let you try out in a couple of weeks when you are safely back on your foot!. Remember, though, there will always be another audition, but you can never get another ankle!. Be smart!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only thing you really can do is to stay off your ankle!. To help it heal, you ice it or heat it and elevate it!.

Talk to your teachers or the people running the tryouts and see if they will let you tryout if a week or two!. They'll probably understand!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

NO don't do anything i sprained my ankle on point 3 weeks ago and it is still bad!. stay off it and ice it all the time!. i promise you'll be glad you did so don't do anythingWww@QuestionHome@Com
