Can I use crutches only at night!


Question: Can I use crutches only at night
I don't know what happened to my ankle!. Ever since yesterday evening my ankle has been hurting so badly!. It hurts constantly no matter what position the leg is in!. The ankle and the leg are bruised and the ankle is a little swollen, although I can't really tell!. It hurts to move it in any direction and It hurts to stand on it!. I can walk and run but it kills my ankle!. If I walk on it it hurts as I continue to walk!. You don't think Ineed crutches do you, it really sucks to use them!. The ankle is tender, and so is my calf!. I don't remember hurting it though and it didn't hurt until last night!. I could run and walk fine last night with minimal pain, but now my ankle really hurts!. I'm 15!.

I don't know if I should use crutches or not because I don't know what I did to it!. it doesn't hurt that bad when I walk but the only distance I have walked is up and down the stairs and across the living room floor!. It continually hurts worse though if I walk across the living room and the living room isn't even that big!. I woke up today because my ankle hurt!.

I only ask because I have an event that I have to go to on Wed!. Night and I don't want to look like a clutz if I don't need to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
