Omg my ankle please answer?!


Question: Omg my ankle please answer!?
our basketball team comes in every morning to shoot free throws, my shoes were still wet from the snow outside, after i had finished shooting a free throw i was walking to the left but i missed the shot and the ball went behind me!. in an attempt to grab the ball i slipped and fell, and i landed awkwardly, and my right ankle popped (the foot that did not slip into the air)!. I did not twist it i just like fell and it popped pretty loud!. I went to the nurse first period to get some tylenol and ice, and she had the trainer come down to look at it because it was pretty swollen, he told me 2 c him after school so i kept using the ice and stuff!. i walked on it the rest of the day (if u wanna call it a walk) and after school he looked at it and told me the swelling had gone down so i could practice and i told him i could barely walk so he told me to take the day off then!. im home now and after closely looking at it my fibula kind of creases down, there is a pouch of swelling towards the middle and outside of my foot, and the inside of my ankle is somewhat bruised and the ankle part kind of comes out higher than it does on my other foot!. the trainer told me after school that an x ray wasnt neccessary because i was walking on it, but i was able 2 play on a fractured fibula for 5 weeks last basketball season so im pretty good with pain tolerance, but this is the closest i have came to crying over pain since like 3rd grade!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You're absolutely right! People can walk on broken or badly sprained ankle/feet!. I had a very badly sprained ankle & was in a cast for 3 weeks!
Since you heard a loud pop it sounds like you broke something!.
If I were you I would go to an ER & get a X-ray/MRI!.
The coach doesn't have to walk on your ankle for the rest of HIS life!.
Go now!.
You will feel better!.
Keep taking Tylenol for pain, but Aleve, aspirin or Motrin for swelling!.

Good luck & feel betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

Tell your parents and have them take you for x rays!. I walked on a broken foot for 2 days too!. Then you will know if it is broke or not!. It may just be a really bad sprain!. Go get and x ray and find out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may have torn a ligament!. This can be more of a problem then a fracture!. I would suggest you see a doctor preferably an orthopedist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
