I've had MANY broken/sprained ankles ..It would be easier if I knew the reason for why you can't tell ur mom ..but honestly, if you want it to get better, you either tell ur mom, or when she's not looking, you sneak a bag of ice up to your room, and ice it 20 mins on, 20 mins off etc. ...also, make sure while your sitting/laying down, you keep it elevated above your heart, this will keep the blood flowing ..I just dislocated/broke my finger, and they told me motrin helps the swelling go down so I'm guessing you can also use motrin for the swelling of the ankle ..but to make things easier, no matter what the consequence is, you should tell your mom so your ankle isnt fatter than the other 1 for the rest of your life, believe me, it's possible.Health Question & Answer

if you broke your ankle you MUST see a doctor immediately b/c if you don't, you can end up w/ SERIOUS inflammations & muscle problems from the bones scraping against each other etc.

you might as well go get it checked on 'cause your mom will know eventually anyways, 'cause you're probably limping...

good luck =)Health Question & Answer
