The swelling in my foot will not subside....any suggestions?!


Question:

The swelling in my foot will not subside....any suggestions?

On Friday of last week I had a pretty bad fall. I was sure that my ankle was broken because I couldn't move my foot at all, and my ankle looked like it had a softball growing out of the side of it. I went to a doctor, he took x-rays and said he didn't see a break and called it a bad spraign. The problem is, here it is Wednesday, I still can't move my foot, the pain is still pretty intense, and no matter how much ice I put it on it, and keep it elevated, and take the anti-inflammatory pills, the swelling has not gone down. I still think it's broken because when I was a kid I did the same thing and they couldn't see the break on the x-ray because of the swelling, and didn't find it until 2 weeks later. I don't have health insurance and maxed out my credit card taking care of it already, so I can't afford to go back. What should I do?

I should add.....I am incredibly accident prone. I have broken this same ankle once about 16 years ago, and spraigned it 6 times. I have also torn the ligaments in this foot when I was a kid, and spraigned the other ankle twice. I have really bad balance...lol. Anyway, so I'm used to the norm of how it usually heals. And I have never had to wait so long to have the swelling go down.
