My mom won't believe that I sprained my ankle!Help!?

Question

People have told me that I probably sprained it. Just by the way I said it feels, so I'm going with that. I have brown dots all over it. and it hurts to move, but I can walk. I've been tripping, falling, etc. Its smaller than it should be...compared to my other ankle...but I don't know the normal size of my right ankle (one that hurts) so, whatever.

How can I convince my mom that my ankle is killing me, and I have a sharp shooting pain in my ankle?

On and off pain when I'm sitting. It just hurts to move. WAH OW. Help me convince her? thanks

Answer 1

god sake, either your a compulsive liar or shes crazy!! she should take you to the docs if your in that much pain!! i wonder why she doesnt believe you :(.

i sprained my ancle and it was soo sore. apparently the best thing to do is to put an ice pack on it, i couldnt because it was too cold lol, but i went to the hospital etc, so you could give it a try,

good luck x

Answer 2

if it was sprained it would be badly swollen not smaller

it aint sprained

Answer 3

Wow. i really don't know what to say. actually, my friend had a similar experience. turned out her mom really just didn't want to pay for the ER visit (don't blame her. i know how much i costs and its over 5 didgets long) my advice to convince her: start bawling (haha jk) u could do that but that probably wouldn't help. gather information on the internet on how a sprained ankle looks and what the symptoms are. if that doesn't convince her, call ur reg doc urself.

to help heal it: elevate it as much as possible, don't walk on it as much as possible, ice it, be gentle ect. good luck =]
