My ankle REALLY REALLY hurts whats wrong?!


Question: So ok, today my ankle's been hurting like heck. I know what happened. On Saturday I was with my cousins and we were jumping on the trampoline and there was no net. I jumped really high and went off the edge and landed on my ankle kinda hard. I could still walk and it's not swollen, so what is it a twist, sprain, hyperextended, or even broken?

Its probably a slight sprain or you just bruised the bone(s). Give it time to heal and ice it. It should stop hurting in the next few days to a week. If it still hasnt gotten any better, go see a doctor.
GOOD LUCK!

Only a doctor can tell you after x-raying. If you can walk on it, it's likely not broken though.
When I was a teenager I twisted my ankle & heard a crack. It really swelled up. I had x-rays & they said it was a sprain.

its prob a sprain thats coming back cause its not healed all the way listen im not a docter so i would get that checked good luck

As one of the many doctors patrolling the web to give out free adive I'd say you have a sprain. Feel free to sue me if I'm wrong.

The difference for me between a break and a sprain is that a sprain/bruise/strain hurts horribly and then starts to ease a little once what ever I've hurt is immobilized. A break's pain is intense and doesn't stop. You've probably got a sprain but since you're still in pain, you probably ought to go to the doctor's for a proper diagnosis just in case you have a hairline fracture or torn muscles/ligaments that would require extra care.

sprain

Ankle sprain most probably, from my point of view, lateral and medial maleolus is a bulky distal end of the tibia and fibula (your leg) thus fracture is quite impossible but crush fracture may be the cause of your pain but it usually take a little bit of the brutal force to have one. have the leg radiographed. Want a safer method? try the MRI if the pain did not subsides

I don't know EXACTLY what is wrong, but icing it and keeping it up for a few days should fix it.

An X ray should be done to be sure it isn't broken.
