I twisted my ankle?!

I twisted my ankle?

I fell and twisted my ankle, there was horrible pain and then a bumb about the size of a golf ball showed up on the out side of my ankle , went to the er they took xrays told me it wasnt broken and sent me home never saw a docter I am very worried about this is this normal

You more than likely had a lot of inflammation from the injury. Put ice over the area, Rest the ankle, put an ace wrap over your ankle, and take an anti inflammatory like Motrin for the discomfort. I wouldnt be too worried unless it continues to bother you after a few days. If it does you should consult with an Orthopedic Doctor for further treatment. even though the ER said that it wasnt broken, it can possibly be because if it was really swollen around the time of the injury it can be difficult to see a fracture from an xray. Good luck and i hope you feel better :o)
