Should I go to the hospital?
I was playing on the balcony and then I climbed on it and laid on it but then I lost my balance but then I got off. I walked down the stairs and fell down all 14 of them and now my ankle hurts. The pain is spreading up my leg and i'm scared to look at it. My mom would totally kill me if I told her but she's at work right now. I'm scared to look at it. What should I do?

i think you should look at it , and see what it looks like it , then call your mom to tell her what happend i think she wont be mad, she should understand you are hurt dont hide it from her tell her you need to get it checked out maybe your broke it . put ice on it and if it still the same you need to go to hospital

My husband had something happen where he fell as a teen and got up and walked on it and it didn't hurt too much, but the next morning, getting out of bed was excruciating pain. He could put no weight on his foot. In a visit to Dr, it was found he'd broken his ankle. So at the worst, that could be the case for you, or it may be bruising and a sprain at the most.
Just by looking at your leg, you may not be able to see anything, or just scrapes and bruises when it could be worse.
Call Mom and let her know what happened. If she can't come home right away, keep your leg up, put some ice on it for swelling, don't walk around on it, just sit tight and wait for her to take you to see a Dr.
