Pain getting worse

The pain in my ankle is seriously getting worse. It's been a pretty bad day for it but that's because today I went to class and stopped to pick up a couple of things on the way but this is getting silly. It's sore to move it, sore to keep it still and sore to put weight on it. All to be expected but it's been over 72 hours now and it's just being silly. I tried going to the NHS webpage but for once it has nothing. It completely skips over leg pain, instead it attributes all leg pain to back pain. This sucks. Anyone got any ideas?

it has nothing on sprained ankles? I find that surprising.

Absolutely squat. You get this as the closest to the leg. I tried to find ankle but there was nothing in the As.

If it's a sprained Ankle then I think this may be of interest.

Thanks. Going on the description I'd say this is maybe grade 2 but now it just seems to be getting worse. Apparently rice just isn't cutting it. I've had sprained ankles before but I don't remember them being like this.

Chica, you may have a "Greenstick" fracture. Go to your doctor and get it X-Rayed...sometimes a shot of cortisone and a splint is all that is needed...hope you start feeling better!

But I got an X-ray. It was clear as a bell and no sign of anything but a bit of swelling in the general area and my own hysterical laughter

There's not really much on what to do though. It's just a general overview of what a sprain is and how to not get it. It only recommends the RICE treatment and says nothing about if that's not doing much.

Sprained Ankle from experience.

Nothing can be done but ice, rest and keep it elevated until it gets better which may take, 'Yes' months.

Ok, I'm glad it isn't broken, but still, I hope you start feeling better!

I was just pointing out that you said they had absolutely nothing on sprains, but they do. It took about 15 seconds to find it with the site search feature. That's all.

I imagine if that advice doesn't work, go to the doctor for some kind of stronger treatment.

That sucks. It's only meant to be like 2 weeks



Yeah. Thanks




In general I meant stuff I didn't already know but thanks anyway Sorry if I'm snappy I'm just bored and sore and irritable
