Do I have an unexpected sprain?!
Question: Do I have an unexpected sprain.?
Ok, so today I was walking on a trail with my dog and all of a sudden my ankle got a really sharp pain. It was about 2 hours ago and I can't get the pain to go away. I've been on crutches 6 times but not for very long because I feel like it goes away. Could it be possible that my injury didn't go away, just the pain subsided for a little while.? Well, anyway I didn't fall on it or twist it or anything. It's my right ankle and it's kind of a cross between my bone and the side of it. I have my crutches still but I don't want to use them if I don't have to. I was thinking about wearing my brace, but it's so bulky and it would be hard for me to get around school. Does anyone have any idea what this is.? BTW I know it's not a sprain or fracture because I can still move it.Health Question & Answer

You need to be using your crutches, your ankle wont heal correctly if you dont, so take it easy, ad USE the crutches you have purchased. Its completely neccesaryHealth Question & Answer
Your first problem is self diagnosis. You can still move both a sprain and a fracture. Where people get the idea you can't is beyond me. You need to see a Dr. Only an Xray can see a fracture.Health Question & Answer
