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’am! I’m trying.... why do these things always happen at the worst times?

@booinflipflops2 Remember RICE. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation...stay off of it...😉

My roommate told me that the fact that I can walk on it is a sign it isn’t 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!
It takes weeks for bad sprains to heal

Looks like GOUT. Or did you injure your foot?

@soar2newhighs I sprained my ankle.....😔
@booinflipflops2 ice elevation and if tolerated ibuprofen.

EEK 😣 what did you do?

@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!

@booinflipflops2 ice it and call the DR.
