How can I tell if my ankle is sprained or broken?

Question

Yesterday I did a back walkover and fell on my ankle crooked. It is slightly swollen. I can still walk but it is very painful. So how can I tell if it is sprained or broken?

Answer 1

I fell last year. Go to your doctor and get an X-ray to be sure. It may be just sprained since you can walk. But, it could be fractured.

Answer 2

that's how you can tell if it was broken you wouldn't been able to walk and it would hurt lot even if you are keeping the ankle up like laying on the bed just get some ice and let it sit on your ankle for a day and get some pain relievers to easy the pain

but if you want to be sure go to the doctors and get a x-ray

hope you feel better

Answer 3

xray
