I think I need to be on crutches what do you think?!
Question: Last Thursday I sprained my ankle. It didn't swell or bruise but It is still tender and it hurts!
Wednesday I had gym and after my ankle hurt so badly but I also had gym today and my ankle hurt so badly after that It felt like I had twisted it all over again. I had the ice on but ever since gym my ankle just hurts like a sprained ankle but a freshly sprained ankle. It constantly hurts and has been under ice twice today. Walking is just a sharp pain especially after I use ice and My shin also hurt after I used the ice. I can walk/run but it hurts and I am beginning to limp because of the pain.
I have play practice for my church on Sunday and we are dancing. I also have gym. I don't know if I should go see a doctor or not but if It still hurts than I am going to go see the athletic medical guy at my school on Monday. It is tender on the inside of the ankle and I know it's not a muscle pull because there has been no twitching or spasms. My ankle popped when I hurt it, and I can move it around in a circle but It really hurts. Do you think I should stay off of it on Sunday.(I have babysitting on Saturday so I can't)
wearing the brace helped but I really don't want to use the crutches on Monday.
Do you think I should use them/and for how long
Could it be a hairline fracture
The brace seems to help but It still hurts a little. I'm on two extra streinth tylonals right now but It;s not really helping that much.
Thanks for your advice
=)
By the way I twisted my ankle by slipping on a puddle of water on the floor while I was wearing flip flops. My ankle twisted to the side and than popped but popped back in.
I'm 14
by the way also what does this sound like to you?
would the doctor give me a cast?
This happened last Thursday not the Thursday that just past

I think you should get crutches. It can and may help you a lot and can get you healed faster. If you care about what other people think, I think it is better to wear crutches and heal faster than to have a broken ankle for your whole life practically. So I hope this helped and go as quick as possible to your nearby hospital before it gets worse! Bye! =]]
no don't get crutches, you need to keep using your foot or the muscle will weaken meaning it is more likely to happen again, just wear a tubi-grip on it and take it easy for a couple of days, dont exert yourself just do the bare minimum,
hope that helped james
even if it didnt get better soon
