Sprain Ankle and broken capsule
13/f
Ok so on Monday we had track practice. My coach said if your are not in four events for the meet (four is the limit) than you can go try long jump if you want. I was only in three events and wanted to be in four so i tried. I'd only done it a few times and still had trounle but i wanted to perfect it so i could do it in the meet. The first time i got like an estimated 13 feet. So i tried it again and landed on my ankle the wrong way one of my friends and i both heard it pop and my ankle was nearly twice the size of the other. I was bawling and needed hlp and track was over for me hat day The next day i tried to walk it off at school so i could go to the meet that was the following day and it didnt work to good so when i got home my mom took me to the E.R. They took my x-ray and the doctor said i have a broken capsule in my ankle where the fluid had came out and we thought it was swollen really bad. when we got the papers back it had also said i had a sprain joint i guess that is a more scientific way of saying i had i sprain ankle (please tell me in your answer if it is or not) but anyway they put me on an aircast and crutches for a week. Its been 3 days since the injury and its a little swollen and hurts just a little like on a scale of 1 to 10 its maybe lik a 3 but my uncle said that its still not healed completely and i can break it if i walk on it (the doctor also said this) but its hard to get around my house with the crutches but im not supposed to walk on it then again it doesnt hurt to what should i do and what are the affects if you know from previous injuries
P.S. sorry its so long its just been bothering to know

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
right your joints are all made up of ligaments, a synovial membrane,synovial fluid and the cartalidge and the joint capsule, what you have done to your ankle is oppened the capsule allowing the synovial fluid to exit the capsule, this is what causes the swelling becuase the white blood cells break the synovial fluid down. a sprained ankle is a sprained ligament in the ankle so yes it is the same. a sprain is when you stretch tear or twist the ligament if you are in a cast it sounds like you have stretched the ligament, in further life you will have an increased risk of osceoarthiritis in the ankle becuase there will not be as much synovial fluid, i was of preventing this though is by takin cod liver oil everyday this will help your ankle and increase your overall flexibility, one more thing which could be a possible outcome is a weaker ligament which is quite common, another outcome could be a fiberous cyst could accour if the capsule does not heal right this is not fatal not harmful and will not effect you in any way apart from being a small lump under the skin, other then that the chances of you ankle healing are extremely good give it another week to heal and then start to walk on it but not for long and if it hurts alot dont do it, after 6 weeks if it still hurts more then 2/10 my advice is have it checked again becuase there could be further issues hope it all heals properly
