Hi, im a shift lead at a DQ in a pretty busy area. Im pretty sure my ankle is sprained, its been about two weeks since the incident and walking has not improved, if anything its gotten worse. Im heavily limping and its hard to keep up with the pace. We are very short handed on staff as of late and I just have so much anxiety about needing time off especially when the schedule is already out. Im also afraid it might be something worse. Should I skip asking for time off and just go straight to the doctors and get a note or should I try to ask for a couple of days off?

I should mention, ive tried ace bandages and when that didn't help I dropped 30 dollars on an ankle brace that has only seemed to make it hurt more to walk.
