Help! What shall I do.....?!


Question:

Help! What shall I do.....?

I have just managed to fall down the last three stairs, bending my ankle more then what I wanted to! Extremely painful, cannot bear to put it to the ground, applied ice pack and wet towel, taken pain killer, cup of tea for shock.......now do I go the A&E now, or do I leave it till morning for the swelling to subside? Of course not life threatening, but may need wrapping or plaster. Which do you think I should do?
It dont half HURT!!!!


Answers:

Hi. Sorry to hear you are hurt. If i were you i would keep an eye on how fast it swells. If it swells rapidly then go to A&E. It is better to have it checked. If you find in the morning you cant stand on it then you definately have to go. If it was me i would rather wait till morning. A Saturday night in A&E is not a nice place to be.
Hope you feel better soon. x
