What will the doctor do?!
Question: Last Thursday I was wearing flip flops and there was this puddle of water in the middle of the hall that I didn't see and I slipped and twisted my ankle to the side. I never went to see anyone and I have just been putting up with it. The problem is that yesterday I was in gym class and during gym and after my ankle started to hurt ALOT!
It felt like it does after you sprain it
Problem is it's not swollen it just hurts.
It is tender on the inside not the outside
It hurts alot when any pressure is applied(as I press on it)
I think I should see the school nurse but I'm not sure because I can walk/run but it hurts. If she will think I'm actually injured.
what would she do?
These are my questions also:
will she give me crutches?
Will she give me a note for gym?
Will she give me pain meds?
I have gym 1rst block should I go before or after

Sounds like a sprained ankle. The doctor will probly X-ray your ankle to check for any broken bones.
If there isnt any broken bones then they DR will probly you you an ankle brace to wear for a couple weeks and crutches depending on how bad it. And if you want to get out of gym the DR will give you a note. But your injury isnt bad enough to get pain meds.
If its broken then they might cast it there or send you some where so it can be casted.
If you nervous, just ask them what they are going to do.
you probably twisted it...or pulled something...he may just have you wrap it up or have you in a brace.according to how bad you've hurt then kept on going you may have to be on crutches a week two but dont worry they are not so bad or hard to learn
if this is a high school, i don't know if they have crutches. you have insurance? if you do see a doctor... a nurse may not be able to help you much coz that injury happened a while ago and now it seems aggravated. You should get a note for gym but the nurse will probably tell you to get furthur help. The doctor will probably give you pain meds. He did for me when i had an injury like that.
1 xrays
2 wrap it up
3 motron
4stay off it a couple days apply ice 3-4 x per day. it sounds like you may have stretched a ligament.
