I hurt my ankle today..?

Question

Well today I was skating with my friends and I kinda fell and rolled out my left ankle. I got up and I was able to walk fine and everything and there was no pain. However, 3-4 hours later my ankle starts to hurt when I walk on it. There is NO swelling or anything just a small pain when I walk.

Is it possible that I could have fractured/broken my ankle without no swelling? Or am I just overreacting about this whole thing?

What should I do?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't think you have broken it, i have broken my ankle before, and the swelling was CRAZY!!  And pain was immediate, and did not stop, until i went to the ER.  You may need to go to the Doc if the pain doesn't stop though, in the mean time, try to stay off it, and warm compresses help with the pain too.  

Answer 2

It's more likely you just got yourself a mild sprain. Various things can delay symptoms like continued activity, tight footwear (skates?), etc. Assuming you can still walk on it, if it doesn't go away in a day or two, then definitely see a doctor. In the mean time you might want to consider icing it and wrapping it, depending on how bad it is.

Go see a doctor now to get x ray and treatment instead of answers from yahoo answers..

Answer 4

Well if you would have broke it you wouldn't be able to walk on it. It is possible that you fractured it or you may have just sprung it. You should wrap it when you walk and you should stay off of it and do the R.I.C.E. treatment until you go to the doctor.
