What could this be? (swelling, red, swollen, hurts; ankle)?!
Question:
What could this be? (swelling, red, swollen, hurts; ankle)?
Symtoms are swelling, pain, reddish color, swollen, and it hurts when I walk. It is my ankle. Is this a broken bone, fracture, sprain, or something normal?
Answers:
What did you do to make it this way in the first place? Did you stumble, fall, trip? That is a question to ask that will help in a big way. From what I read and from my own expertice from my mistakes while hiking, it sounds like you have a sprained ankle or you pulled a muscle or a tendon. It is not a borken ankle, else you wouldn't be able to walk on it without screaming and crying in pain, and I severly doubt it is a fracture. Anyways to be on the safe side, you should go see a doctor just to make sure, like I said, to be on the safe side. Hope it heals soon, I know what you are going through, ;P
Hope that answers your question
