How long does it take for the swelling to go away?

Ice bucket for you , up past that ankle. Twice a day. You also need to wrap it and stay off of it for a few days. Swelling will last 7-10 days

@TexChik Yes ma鈥檃m! I鈥檓 trying.... why do these things always happen at the worst times?
TexChikF
@booinflipflops2 Remember RICE. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation...stay off of it...馃槈

My roommate told me that the fact that I can walk on it is a sign it isn鈥檛 fractured.

@booinflipflops2 not true. I broke my ankle and thought it was a sprain. Walked three blocks back to my house on it.

@PrivateHell Oh noooooo! The thought of my foot in a cast scares me!

booinflipflops241-45, M
@Starchild1983 I was walking on the sidewalk and then my ankle just rolled on me!
I remember looking down as it happened, seeing my ankle rolling and then seeing stars! lol Then feeling really embarrassed as I tried to walk!
