Dammit! Fractured my ankle yesterday (don't ask....) and left the Urgent care facility with a bottle of Vicodin and a cane. I also have some crutches available from my cousin. Which would you use?

Just get an ankle brace.

wearing one now, but was told to use a cane or crutches for 10-15 days.

When I sprained my right ankle, I used my ankle brace and walked around the college campus without crutches. I hid the pain anyways.

use crutches. my brother had a bad ankle break and didn't let it heal properly, and he will forever live with the pain now.

When I broke my foot I used crutches and they sucked. But then again it was winter in Michigan. I would go for the cane, but I voted for drugs.
