Did I sprain my ankle or broke it or something else?!
Question: Did I sprain my ankle or broke it or something else?
A few minutes ago I jumped off my sister's bed and tripped on my left foot and fell. I had a few tears in my eyes. Now I'm laying down, and it hurts! It feels all tight. My left foot is more redder than my right. It's bruised and puffed out swollen. I tried working on it, and I can't really, even if I move my foot it hurts. On a scale 1 - 10 it's a 10. I'm usually good on pain tolerance. What should I do? If I tell my mom she's gonna get all upset. If it's only sprained I don't really wanna tell her.

Go to the hospital. Extreme pain with swelling and discoloration could very well be a break. And yes, your mom may very well be angry, but she would want you to see a doctor.
Tell your mom!!! ive broken bones 3 times- and you should always go to the E.R just to be sure. I broke my arm last March and i didnt think it was broken at first, but when we went to the E.R, it was. Even if its not broken i doubt your mom would be mad at you if it really hurts.
