twisted ankle
okay in either june or july, i twisted my ankle. basically it was the stupidest injury ever. i was playing basketball & i stepped on a girls foot while running & fell. it hurt really bad. i stopped playing for that game & the game after. i took a few days off & started up again like 4 days after it happened. i've been using an ace bandage to play. we had the month of august off, so i haven't played since july. my ankle hurts a lot still. its sore, i can't turn it a certain way, when i stand on it for too long it hurts, it feels like its in a knot, etc. i never got it checked out, because i know i twisted it & it can't be broken if i can walk/run on it. what is it?? its still swollen, but its regular color.
thanks!!

Hey just so you know it is a myth that when you break a bone it has to hurt and you can't walk. It depends on which bone is broken i.e. I broke my talis bone which is a bone off your ankle and I walked on it but because the pain didn't go away I went to get it checked and sure enough it was broken and I needed surgery.
Sprains typically hurt more then breaks but it varies person to person and on your threshold for pain. You need to get it checked and not play b-ball until you get a dr.'s ok as you could do permenant damage if there are torn ligiments, a fracture or fluid.

you should probably get it checked!
it sounds like you might have fluid around the bone which is causing it to swell and walking on it ins't helping too much either.
also its possible that you bruised the bone.
either way it sounds like it needs to be checked out.
