Have I sprained my ankle?!
Question: Have I sprained my ankle!?
In the past week, there have been many instances of it!. First one, I was just walking in gym class and i feel sidewards with my ankle twisting (in half it felt like)!. Then it happened several more times throughout that day just when I was walking and several times throughout the week!. Then yesterday, I was on the trampoline when my friend bounced and i fell again although this time it was worse!. My ankle swelled a bit and today it is still difficult to walk (although I can walk)!. So any information on what it is!? If I went to the docter, what would they be able to do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
