resprain got worse


Question Posted Wednesday January 11 2006, 9:57 pm

hey im a guy. on the 2nd of this month i was running down the stairs, slipped, then sprained my ankle...and continued running. then for whatever reason, actually did exercise right after. i didn't feel anything at first, until the next day. for about a 4 days i could barely walk and everything hurt. things started to feel alot better, so i worked out again on monday. i thought that if it wasn't 100% healed, i would have felt it by tuesday. i didn't feel anything. as the day went on today, i started to feel the same pains again on my ankle and now on my knee, only much worse. i dont know what could have caused it, i havn't done anything physical. should i go to the hospital tommorrow for an xray and check up? or just walk it off and schedule an appointment in 2 weeks. would ice help on this one or not - neither are swollen. thanks in advance

It's possible you mildly sprained it. In which case your tendon was stretched, so the time you were off your ankle it got better, but you irritated it by excercising. Keep off it for a couple of days, then gradually get back into your routine. Ice can help it to not be so painful and make inner swelling go down, just because you can't notice the swelling doesn't mean its not there. Going to a doctor would be a wise choice. Hope I helped.
