tattoomytoe Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 i fell down 2 steps and sprained or strained my ankle last thurs. 8 days ago, i am pretty sure it isn't broken or anything. about how long should it continue to hurt? it is more of a dull ache in the center of my ankle. and it is still slightly sollen. is this normal? i can walk on it, but it hurts, not from weight just movement. i do wear a support though. do ya'll think i should wait another week or 2 before going to the doc?

imjustagirl Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I'd call the doc...let em know u hurt your ankle last week, and you've been doing home treatment (assuming ice/hot pack...advil) and it's not getting better. You can put you're weight on it, it's just tender. They'll probably do x-rays, which they love to do for any part of your body that's "hurting" after an injury, but it's possible that you may have a hairline fracture...I did. Could walk and all that stuff, just...ached. My non-medical opinion (even tho I do end up there a lot).... Hope you get better! ~justa~ Link to post Share on other sites

imjustagirl Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Basically tape it up and take it easy...advil and all that stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
