When I sprained my ankle a year or so ago I used my cane on the side that was injured, worked for me, but then I always carry a walking stick when walking in the country so I was used to having one. BUT my sister-in-law, who is a physiotherapist, says you should use it on the "good" side in case you stumble with your good leg, you don't then come down on the bad one. (I think that's the logic).
