Question: How can I tell if I broke my ankle or if it's sprained!?
Today I was playing basketball and my ankle twisted, I heard a pop!. I can move it and can stand on it, but if I add pressure to it it hurts!. It's swollen too!.

What do you think!?
I plan on getting X-Rays tomorrow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hard to tell!. I hurt mine at work and needed stitches!. The emergency room doctor stitched it up and I was walking around the emergency room with no pain or difficulty!. The doctor thought I was all right and then after viewing the x-ray's he said that I better sit down!.
It was broke!.

Have the x-ray's done to be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think if your ankle really hurts and you can't really walk than it is probably sprained or broken!. But I really suggest you go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well if you can stand but not put too much pressuer then it is not broken you would be in the er right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
