Sitting in the ER with my 14yo son

He sprained his ankle running down the stairs earlier 😞

I wish I could take his pain away or have them transfer it to me somehow but my heart ACHES seeing him like this and being able to do nothing

Daw I’m sure he’ll be okay .. sprains take about a week or two to heal and he’s a young man too so he should heal right up .. I sprained mine when I was 17 and I never let it heal so I kinda walk with a limp sometimes

Sprains are rough . When I did that as an athlete ice bucket treatments , ice and water in a 5 gallon bucket and put yiur foot in for 20 mins . It’s not for sissies but it works . Crutches and a wrap ?

@TexChik it sucks for sure, but works. No doubt.

I'm very very sorry :(

Hopefully it's just a sprain and not more...

Probably bad advice, but one way to trick the brain from pain is to create pain elsewhere... but pitching in an opposite area can sometimes trick the brain, of course, that's probably smaller pains than he is in now.

Also what makes him laugh, youtube videos of comedians or anything?

Motrin and an ice pack. That's all the doctor would do anyway if it's just a sprain.

All you can do is Strap it up, get him to keep it elevated and put Ice on it. I hope there is no break. Hope he's ok
