What is wrong with my ankle?

Question

haha, vague question, i know.

but pretty much, last thursday (today is tuesday) i had been running across the street and i got a sudden pain in my ankle. it then swelled up. since then it has been slightly swollen. i only have pain when i walk (and i've started walking with a noticeable limp) or put weight on it, but i have no problems with moving it in any direction or anything.

my mother thinks it is a stress fracture and is taking me to get x-rays pretty soon. pretty much, i just want to know what it could be? i don't want to be stuck on crutches for the rest of my summer.

Answer 1

it sounds like tendon or sprain.

id have to know which area of the ankle to be spacific

Answer 2

it might just be sprained- don't be too worried
