Will i be able to walk tomorrow?

I sprain my ankle today and I've been icing and elevating it. I've tried walking, but there is some sharp pain. I can handle it, but idk if I can handle it with my book bag on. Will it be better by tomorrow? Will i be able to walk with my book bag on? I dont want to use crutches because its so crowded in the hallway and I tried using them today and I almost fell. Right now I have medicine on my ankle plus heat and double taped. Will i be ok by tomorrow?

    You maybe better but you won't be "ok". An ankle sprain takes at the very least a week to recover from. You just need to keep icing and elevating it whenever possible. I understand your frustration and I know you don't want to hear this but I strongly suggest you use the crutches and wear a good brace on the ankle.

    I sprained my foot once and I couldn't walk for about a day then it was limping then walking. Sleeping overnight really helps. This was my foot not my ankle do it might be different.
