Hurt my ankle help please.?

Question

I fell 5 ft off of a tree onto a stump. the back of my ankle now has a bump thats red and hurts. its been 9 days the swelling has kinda went down. i can walk abit but not do my normal activities.

Answer 1

do see the er dr or just your own personal dr. but just keep putting ice or it and elevate it  

Answer 2

Go to a health shop and ask for some arnica cream. It brings out bruises. I really badly hurt my ankle and after 5 days of h**l, my mum slapped some on every day and it went purple for 2 days and then the swelling went down. It's completely natural so it won't do you any harm either.

As well as that, you might as well go and see a doctor just to be sure. They'll have a feel of it and if they think it might be badly hurt, they'll send you for an X-ray. Better to be safe than sorry.

Good luck

Answer 3

I would suggest visiting your ER and getting it looked at, but it doesn't sound too bad so if it's manageable then just see your doctor on Monday.
