Pain getting worse

Crutches! That's the only thing that will keep the weight off the injured ankle and still let you get around somewhat!

Exactly what my flatmate just said not to do. I was standing on one foot in her room and she said not to do that since favouring it will just weaken it. She's a nursing student

Ok now I can't take the ice pack off it without it going all sore and stiff, my chest hurts, I'm flushed and warm and pulling at my hair from pain and stress. Painkillers so not working and my mum suggested maybe some alternating hot and cold treatment. Once again not really working. It's just making me feel naseaous which I hate and the pain is bad when hot and soothed when cold but I can hardly keep the ice on it all the time. dunno:

Sometimes hairline fractures don't show up on xrays right away. You need another one. I cracked 5 ribs and they told me I was fine. It may have been minor and you pushed the issue.
Try a cold and hot compress behind your neck alternately. It's weird, but helps. Sometimes I grab a cold can of soda and put it behind my neck. Something to do with trigger points. Feel better.

Thanks I was also thinking that maybe I just pushed it too far today. I took the bus and didn't walk any further than I absolutely had to but might still have been too much

That is EXACTLY what I said a year ago. Rather than derail your thread with my own ankle injury story, if you're interested, you can PM me. I hope it feels better.

Thanks Wingsy. Will do
