I hurt my ankle, and need some advice...?!


Question: I hurt my ankle, and need some advice...?
About ten minutes ago I landed weird on my ankle and I'm not sure if I broke it or sprained it or something... I've never broken anything before.

I can walk on it just fine, and I can move all my toes. I even tried hopping a little bit after the pain mostly subsided. And there doesn't seem to be any swelling of bruising... but I'm not sure how long that'll take to appear. It's all fine except for a slight throbbing and it's a bit difficult to move.

I really think it's fine, I might just be paranoid... but I just need some conformation from people who might have experience.

Thank you! :D

Answers:

If it was broken you COULD NOT do any of those things. Just take it easy, rest, put ice on it, and elevate it.
Ankles take a long time to heal because blood doesn't circulate as much as it does through the rest of the body. To make it heal faster, do alot of ankle stretches (look online) and then more blood will flow through there and heal faster :)



Try laying down and putting ice on it



get ice
