I estimate I injured my ankle inadequately
Okay so I'm 15 years old, and I have no belief what I did but over the course of this night my ankle has begin to hurt more and more. It feels like something is anyone stretched inside of my ankle whenever I try to move it and it hurts when I move it almost like it would if you were purposely stretching a muscle. Walking on it hurts and when I stand on it or try to hop on it it kill my ankle. It feels when i move it like a sprain but also resembling a pulled muscle. I can't move it without pain. Earlier this evening I could run and stand and way of walking and hop without alot of pain to hardly any pain but now it hurts when I try to do those things. What do you muse I did, and what can I do to make it feel better?
It is also tender and I hold a little scratch on the ankle. When I look contained by the mirror I can see a bump on my ankle, and the ankle is red. The bump looks about the same as it does on the other side and I can't communicate if it is swollen or not. It hurts a little when i push on it and move it but it looks as if I have a moment or two bruise on the ankle.
I tried to wear my dads aircast but that made it hurt worse. Do you think I should use crutches. I hate them and they are really self-conscious. I don't know if they would help or not, what do you think?
What should I do and could this a short time ago be a minor sprain
Answer: you should prob go to the doctor and let them check up on it. it sounds resembling you might have had a partial ligament cleave. until you go to the doctor you should use "RICE". Rest, Ice, Compression and elevation. .
put ice on it.That will bring the swelling down untill you can step to the doctor,which you should do tomorrow if you can.
