Tripped and hurt my ankle, help?!
Question: Tripped and hurt my ankle, help?
I went downstairs to get a glass of water because I was extremely thirsty, but I misstepped (lights were all off) and skipped two whole stairs, my heel hit the last one and my ankle/foot twisted when it hit the final landing and now (about an hour later) it really hurts when I put weight on it
Two questions:
First, What do you think happened to my foot?
Second, what should I do about it? I already iced it for a few minutes on and off but is there anything else to do

Answers:
Take some Ibuprofen for swelling, prop your foot up(keeps swelling down too) and keep ice on for a while longer than just a few minutes.
If after a day your walking actually gets worse, see a doctor. But, you most likely sprained it and there is not much to do but wrap it and stay off it.
