Answers:

Give it a week and see if it starts to get better. I would suggest buying some crutches so you don't have to try to walk on it. Also, wrap it up in an ace bandage to keep it stabilized. Keep icing and elevating it. If it hasn't gotten any better in a week, try going to an orthopedic doctor and request an MRI. You may have done something the doctor doesn't know about and can only find on an MRI. If they say the MRI is normal and that it's only sprained, give it another week. If it continues to hurt without getting better whatsoever, buy a boot and see if that helps your ankle. Good Luck!!!!:)

personal experience



Nathan, go to a podiatrist or orthopedist and have the ankle examined. If it does have a bone fragment that is dislodged they will be able to take care of this. If you do need crutches they will be able to get them for you. You may need nothing more than an Air-Splint. This is a device that holds the ankle in the correct position and helps to keep the fluid levels down in the ankle.
