Sounds like you pulled a muscle in that ankle while you were sitting on it. Keep taking the Motrin, which is Ibuprophen, and that reduces swelling. Try and elevate it, and keep some ice on it. Give a couple days, and it should be fine. Try not to sit on it like that again, and stay off it until it compeltely heals!!

I dont know what it really is.... BUT ICE ICE ICE ICE ICE..... also keep taking advil or ibprofen that helps to bring down any kind of swelling...also drink some water....and just relax..wait about 3 days of just icing and ibprofen and if it doesnt get beter call the doctor! hope this helps....feel better :)

Since I am a licensed doctor, all you did was tear the ligement in your gastronemular tasculomentary. Keep on icing it and take some advil!

looks like sprained anke ligaments.use a crepe bandage and consult your doc.

Best answer? I'm not entirely sure... because I'm not a professional. So that's the best answer: Visit a health professional (aka doctor) and have them check it out. Good luck! I hope you feel better,

it could be a boken vein (not serious) or it's a pinched nerve if it doesn't get better call your doc
