My doctor told me you should always wrap from low to high (starting nearer to toes and working up toward the calf). The Figure 8 technique should also be used. Start on the top of the foot. Wrap around the sole and back to the top 2 times. Thenwhen at the top again, wrap around the back of the foot, the Achiles tendon going left to right. Then up over the top of the ankleand back down under the sole. Then up to the left side of the ankle and around the tendon again, arounf the top of the ankle again, under the sole, to the back and so on. till you are near the end of the bandage. Take it around the ankle one more time but this time wrap it around the lower shinbone two times. When overlapping the bandage do not overlap exactly over each layer. Overlap by about half the width.

∙ 15y agoIn the context of first aid, it's best not to wrap a sprained elbow. Instead, try slinging it. If you're at home, secure the sling in such a manner as to support and restrain the extremity. If you're traversing back-country, where people use their arms for balance, you'll need to decide how much to restrain the arm (which is good for protecting the sprain but bad for balance), or not. If you think threre's a chance of impact to the affected area, you can pad the sling as well. In any case, support the sprained joint.

Would you be able to walk on a sprained ankle?
Usually, you can walk on a sprained ankle, but it is EXTREMELY painful. This is NOT advised. The best way to take care of a sprained ankle is to ice twice a day, 20 minutes each time, wrap it in an ace bandage or a firm, cast, and avoid moving it or walking. It is good to stretch a bit by gently moving your foot back and forth if you are able. Slow biking on a stationary bike is good conditioning, but do not run or walk too much.
