How can you tell if your ankle is sprained or fractured?

Question

Yesterday at softball i got hit with a ball pretty hard on my ankle. It was really swollen yesterday, and today it's a little less sowllen. It still hurts to walk on it or move it. The ball hit directly on that bone. What do you guys think?

Answer 1

it depends on the shape of ur head

Answer 2

most likely fractured. i fractured my ankle 3 months ago from soccer. go to a doctor, i didnt want to because i knew they were gonna make me wear a cast and i didnt wanna wear a cast cause i wanted to keep playing haha. but yeah you need to get it checked out cause it could be more serious than you think.

Answer 3

If in doubt you should go to a hospital or at least the doctors, hope you feel better
