Could I have a hairline fracture?!


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


There was no swelling or bruising but it is still tender and hurts even more than a week after I did it. and last night my ankle hurt

    • No telling what the problem is, until you have it looked at.
    I seriously doubt you have a fracture of any kind. More than likely you strained/sprained a ligament on your instep, if I am understanding the location of the pain correctly. Strains and sprains can take a while to stop aching or hurting. You probably should go have the nurse take a look at it. I don't think she will give you crutches and she can't give you any medicine you haven't been prescribed. I can't say about the note, as that depends on your school's policies about that. You really need to bring this to your parents' attention. I imagine if it doesn't get better in a few more days then you would need to see a doctor. You probably ought to see the nurse before you go to gym as well, so if something needs to be taken care of it can be done, and you won't risk injuring anything worse.
    Go see a doctor, You could have even torn or damaged tendens / muscle, i damaged a tenden in my right arm a little while back from breaking a fall, i did`nt get it checked until after 3 weeks i was still in pain, no swelling no brusing.
    i could still use it but it was sore.
    Your school nurse will probably send you to a doctor anyway.
