Fell out a tree, could it be broken?

Question

Hey, ths afternoon i jumped out a tree

video of it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swEwExDSOp0

i couldnt put weight on at the time, and the pain killed.. its a little better now but its still extremely painful, i can barely limp around never mind walk, cant doo stairs and i cant rotate my ankle at all.

People say you can hear something crack on the video.. i just wondered if anyone knows if maybe this could be a bone? i dont wanna go to ER to waste their time.

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes, it's possible that your ankle is broken.  The crack was heard too, but you should go see professional help as soon as possible before it gets worse.

Answer 3

Call your doctor's office and let them know your symptoms.  Keep your foot elevated and iced until you can get in to see your doctor.  If he can't see you today, you should probably go get it xrayed.  If you don't want to go to an ER, perhaps you can get in to see an orthopedic physician.  They usually have xray equipment in their offices.

HTH!
