OMG!! What is wrong?!?

Question

I recently "sprained" my ankle (the muscle that runs from your knee around your foot), 3 or 4 weeks ago. I have been in a walking cast and it is killing me! I have a bruise on the little knobby thingy on my ankle and it is so swollen that it looks FLAT!!! I have a doctor's appointment today at 3:45. I guess my question is, what is wrong?? I have been hurt for almost a MONTH! It is getting worse!! I also had to skip school because I couldn't get to my classes! I am really scared that it could have gotten fractured while I was walking in the walking cast. I don't know what is going on! Please please please help me figure it out today before the appointment!! Thanks So Much!!

Answer 1

Sometimes they can miss a fracture when you originally see the doctor. If the ankle was too swollen to see they would miss it. They will do another x ray today and be able to tell you. They may put you on crutches.

This has happened to me multiple times and when I go back they can see the break. I hope you start feeling better. I am sure you will once they get you off that foot!

Answer 2

you could be right about the fracture part while in cast went through same problem when i tore my knee cap off in football you should be fine if thats the case youl be in the cast a lil  bit longer lol .wink. when life gives you lemons make lemonade.   :}

Answer 3

I think that you need to stop walking on the cats that you are wearing and just stay in bed and let your foot rest for a few days hope this helps
