Wiggle your toes, and move your ankle around!. If you feel any pain, or cannot move your toes (or a toe) you may have broken something, so an xray will be needed!.
If you can do all of the above with no worries, put an ice pack on it!. Preferably one that can wrap around the whole ankle, and leave it there for a few hours!. (Change whenever it gets warm of course!.)
The only way you're going to be able to fit into a ski boot by thursday is if you don't work, or walk around much for the next few days!.
It sounds like it's just a sprain, so it'll still be tender, but all should be good by thursday!. But like i said, any trouble moving it, or if the pain gets worse and not better, you'll need an xray!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are you sure you didnt dislocate your toes outta joint !? I'm not sure about the hole in your nail but the small abrasions could be your bones!. Can you wiggle your toes !? I'd gently massage your foot and gently pull your toes in case they are dislocated!. Then put ice on it and elevate your foot when sleeping to help swelling!. If it dont go down and the pain is still there might wanna see a doctor!. And if you wanna go skiing Thursday !.!.!. I advice you see the doctor soon!. So least they can do is put a brace or wrap your foot in elastic bandages to support it from further movement!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
i have no clue what to do!.!.u reallyl should go to the doctor!. i doubt theres anything you can really do to make the swelling go down!. u need to stay off of it for a few days and dont put NO presure on it!. if its just sperained it should go down in a few days but it could be more server maybe even a pinched blood vesuil!. if u go to the doc u may beable to do whatever thursday if not!.!.it might take a week or moreWww@Answer-Health@Com
Wrap it in a dry towel then put ice packs on it (I use ziplock bags with ice) then cover it with another towel and wrap it so it won't come off!. Try to sit with your foot up as much as possible to keep it from swelling!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
dont panic! its ok 1st take a deep breath! Get some ice and put it on your foot!. Also elevate your feet!. I volunteer at a hospital so dont worry at all!. You need lots of ice though and elevation as well! you'll be better in a couple days!. Be careful i wish you the bestWww@Answer-Health@Com
ice it for a long time!. then keep it wrapped and whenever it starts swelling put ice on it again!. and keep off of it as much as you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
