How do I know that I broke my ankle?

How do I know if my ankle I sprained or broke?

  • I sprained my ankle on thursday and I still can't bear weight on it today. It hurts to move and is swollen but not very. Should I go to the doctor?

  • Answer:

    u should definitely go 2 the doctor. U should be able 2 walk on it by now but it still doesn't mean it's broken. Try not to put any weight on it and put some ice on it.

you should definatley go to the doctor so he can take some x-rays. but untill then, elevate your ankle (keep it at or above your heart), and ice your ankle to control the swelling (10-15 minutes on, then 10 minutes off and repeat). Even if you go to the doctor and it's not broken he may still give you crutches and/or a cast, which will definatley help it to heal faster. hope that helps :)

I once had a broken bone in my foot. The next day, it hurt even more than it did yesterday, so I went to a podiatrist. He took an X-Ray, and said I had a hairline fracture on a bone that would've stunted the growth. If you broke it, and still can't bear weight on it, the first day I broke it i took some ibuprofen, and if it still hurts the next day, seek medical attention.

ugh. i hate when people are like "i sprained whatever" without even going to the doctor for a proper diagnosis ! GO TO THE DOCTOR
