Question:

I fell on my foot now it's swelling a lot, HELP!?

I was taking a nap on the couch and then I woke up. I was standing up, and for some reason, I like accidentally stood on the top of my left foot, and it made me stumble. So then I caught myself, with the top of my let foot again, and I fell and heard a popping noise. Then my foot hurt extremely bad, so I got on my hands and knees and crawled down the hall to my mothers room, where I woke her up. She told me to get in bed and have ice on it so when I did that, it hurt REALLY bad. I was like crying in pain. So I took it off and came out here. My mom said she'd take me to the hospital in the morning, after she's gotten a few hours of sleep. Will someone tell me what I should do?

louie8086@sbcglobal.net: Excuse me, asshole but I'm pretty worried about my foot right now. So you can go around and laugh about how "cool" you are, calling me a nerd for asking people on Y!A about an injury. Haha, you know some DOCTORS spend their spare time on Yahoo Answers. Maybe those DOCTORS could help me with my problem. You, on the otherhand, should just piss off. Today is not a good day to mess with me.


Answers:

I did something similar fly fishing, don't ask. it sounds like you tore a ligament. It will take a month or so to heal and they will probably put it in a brace. be prepared for pain in the xray room though, they love to squish you foot flat to get a good picture!
