Mark Finkelstein. He got an x-ray for a sprain and is literally the saddest cunt who ever lived.

Ya do no there is more then one Finkelstein.
One here locally about 50 minutes north of me comes this way to teach some fancy math.
Only and the ONLY reason one wood have X-Ray for sprain is to rule out a fracture - X-ray and damn I made a home made one as kiddlet and its damn easy to do - X-ray cannot show anything related to a sprain. MRI can X-Ray nope

I put mine once into the MRI cause it was swollen and x-raying wouldn't have done much said the doc... he said he couldn't believe nothing inside was broken or cracked considering the flesh wounds around...
I take care of my joints and get them checked up if I think something could be messed up inside of them, since I abuse them quite badly at the skatepark.

Maybe they wouldn't know that it's just a sprain without an xray?

Its a good point EXCEPT - Unless the Doc has the very most expensive X-Ray machines - One ends up getting radiation that has been proven as not good for your Genes. Nor do I mean the ones you use zipper on. X-Rays also do major shit to my Satellites. X-rays still considered a must use device for human body. But of course the judgement of a good doc can sort that out.
Lots of docs will still dispense antibiotics when they no for sure its a virus and antibiotics except in very rare cases should not be as such dispensed. (Secondary infections as result of Virus and then bacteria might require antibiotics.
X-Ray is just only when necessary. - Hey as kiddlet all shoe stores had then so one could put feet in and see if nuff room for toes. As Kid did that so much that one day my feets going to fall off from sudden cancer

If it doesn't go away after a few weeks, sure.

From lots of first aid classes over the years this I have learned - Any injury that results in inflammation - Only apply cold SOMETHING Could be a frozen bag of peas or that steak one sees in cartoons - No direct ice and always have a thin layer of cloth so as to NOT over chill the area which can result in more inflammation - Object is to chill for say 20 mins but look this up on web for latest rules.
NO Hot and Cold cycles - That is for later after the major inflammation has gone down - Heat will only drive more blood to area which is the opposite of what you want - Later the more blood will be good but NOT now.
Ankle feet always try to elevate so blood flows away - Sitting with legs down is the opposite of wot you want to do IF you can?
Pain killer over the counter - You do not want Acetaminophen aka Tylenol 'UNLESS you are allergic to Aspirin aka NSAIDs aka Advil, Motrin, Aleve, and other generic NSAID's
Aspirin aka NSAIDs aka Advil, Motrin, Aleve, and other generic NSAID's are the FIRST Choice because they will reduce inflammation and also have pain relief
The Acetaminophen's may be great at killing pain but do nothing to Help heal you.
Notice I R Engineer n not a doctor so if you die its not my fault if you fail to check web for latest advice. For chilling I have all kinds of tricks so just ask. Bath Jacuzzi and hot bath is bad for reasons already spelled out. AND do not let your GF use her vibrator on the hurting area - again you do not want added blood flow NOW - Later Ok
