ok, so my brother needed to go to work today (He works at bojangles, for those of you who dont know what that is, its a chicken and biscuits place, kinda like KFC) anyway, so he sprained his ankle this morning right before heading out to work, and couldnt go to work, well its still pretty badly sprang, the swelling is a down but he took medicine, but he likely needs to go to work tommorow, is this absolutely stupid or not, and is there anything you guys can recommend to help keep his ankle in good shape while he works?

If it is really sprained he should not be going into work tomorrow no matter how badly he needs the money or how badly they need him there. He should keep his weight off of it. Did he go to the doctor? A doctor could give him an ACE bandage or he can get one at Walmart to wrap around his ankle.

thank you for your reply, I'm pretty sure we have one, I'm just not sure we could get him to wear it, He is probably just going to say he can't come in tommorow... I hope so anyway, he has a tendency to just kind of do what his boss wants him to do even if it harms him, but I think with something like this he will draw a hard line.

A sprain can be serious. He needs to stay off it for a few days til the swelling's down. Did he ice it as soon as it happened? Is he taking ibuprophen? That helps keep down inflammation. It needs to be wrapped with an ace bandage whether he goes to work or not.
