Ankle Injury
Tonight after youth group me and a bunch of my friends were playing soccer. My ankle didnt really hurt before. But now ever since i played it hurts like crazy. Like in the back of my ankle and in the front of it. I dont really know if i did anything when i was playing. But when i move it, it feels really funny and stuff. What is wrong with my ankle? If i walk on it it really hurts. What can i do to help it?
It is swollen. But im not limping or anything. It just really really hurts for no reason. In a really weird spot

I believe you must’ve either sprained or twisted your ankle from what you are describing. If the pain is excruciating, their is a chance you could’ve fractured it. But right now you should ice the area as long as possible and don’t walk on it. Schedule an appointment with your family doctor tomorrow and they’ll take x-rays to make sure you haven’t broken anything. Hope you feel better soon

Is it swelling at all? If it is, elevate it above heart level and put ice on it. Try not to move it or put any pressure on it, which i know, is impossible. You may need to see a doc because it may be sprained. I sprained my ankle once and tore a ligament in the process. It hurt really bad. If this happened to you, and you keep moving it and putting pressure on it though, it will take longer to heal.
