Sprained Ankle???!
Question:
Sprained Ankle???
I was running from my mom's car to her building today and i was jumping from the parking lot to a sloped grassy area. i bent my ankle in the wrong way and landed wrong. i walked the rest of the way to the building and it was like sheering pain for the next 50 steps. it was a big limp and it hurt alot. i walked back to the car and sat for 15 min. for the rest of the day i walked alot with 10 min rests in between. when i move it in certain directions, walk alot, or get up from sitting on the ground (we were planting flowers) it hurts alot. i have to play vollleyball on monday and for the rest of the summer. so i need the pain to go away fast. did i sprain my ankle, and if so what should i so to make it better? thanks so much!

i can walk on it with some pain, but as i go along it gets worse, should i buy a brace or use an ace bandage it wrap it? ive never had an ankle injury before, and im trying out for my freshamn volleyball team in a month and a half. im 14, thanks for your help.

There isnt any swelling or buising of the ankle but it hurts on the outer side. i landed wrong about 10 hours ago.

I would go to the doctors, you might have caused yourself an acute avulsion fracture.
