Really bad ankle pain.
16, female.
okaay, so at the beginning of the softball season (like march 18th or so) i fractured my ankle, crutches for 2 in a half weeks.
It was fine after that and i played the rest of the season.
i went to the doctor 2 weeks ago for a check up and everything was fine with it, but Recently the same ankle has began swelling and i can't put very much pressure on it,
does anyone have any ideas what's wrong with it?
Thanks in advance (:

Well a fracture healing in 2 and a half weeks, doesn't seem correct to me, but if you felt like playing and could do so without pain then thats fine. Now as for the pain and swelling now, it could be that you weren't ready to go back although I doubt that because it seems like you played the rest of the season and are only now experiencing this. It could also be that you may have stepped wrong and caused the fracture to kinda re-fracture a bit, or put some stress on it that it wasn't ready to handle yet and strained it. I would put some ice on it and take some anti-inflammatories, such as ibuprofen, if the swelling and pain continues after about a week of ice and meds I would definatly go back to the doctor and see what the problem is.
Hope I Helped :)
In the future, be sure that you are fully healed before you play anything or do things.

Fractures take time to heal, It could be that playing the rest of the season was pushing it. It might of not have been fully healed and playing the reason of the season agitated it.
Put some ice on it if it doesn't go down then see the doctor
