Did I sprain my ankle?!


Question: Did I sprain my ankle?
I was playing softball and my left foot tilted to the left and I put pressure and I felt a slight pop. It hurt a little, but not bad. It is about three and half hours later and it hurts to walk on it. I have to limp a little. I havent done anything to it(ice, wrap, etc). Its not bruised, and there is no signs I did anything, except it maybe a little swollen. I cant really tell. What do you think it is? and what should I do? please help! best answer will be chosen!

Answers:

Ive sprained my ankles plenty of times, but never felt any pops of any kind.You may have fractured it, or chipped a bone.Somethings not right or it wouldn't be swelling or hurting.Swelling is definitely a sign, of something not being right in you foot.You can try soaking it in Epsom Salt, for swelling, if that doesn't work a Dr.really needs to look at it.You can buy Epsom Salt at almost any store, just follow directions on the bag or container.Try to stay off of it as mush as possible, pressure from any weight at all seems to make problems like this a lot worse.
