Help!!!!!!?

so i went swimming over ten hours ago, i hurt my ankle. it started to swell a little bit. but now (over 11 hours later) it still hurts, i think i is still swelling. what do you think it is. ps. i did it by going down a water slide the wrong way or from when i keep landing on my feet every time i come down the slide. IDK!! HELP, IT HURTS
Answer:
Sounds like a sprain... rub some deep heat gels on and strap it tightly with a bandage. If that doesn't help, try turning it around as well in a circular motion and walking on it, if it hurts to even touch the floor- it's broken. Get plenty of rest as well, keep it elevated always... If it's not better in 2 days or so go to the doctor...Good luck!
go to a doctor
ouch. Well, try putting ice on it first to try and reduce the swelling. You may have bumped it hard. Lie down and take it easy, while keeping it nice and cool. The swelling should go down in a bit. If it doesn't, call your doctor. :%26lt;Hope I helped, and hope you're okay.
go to er or orthopedic surgeon to get an xray of your ankle. make sure it isn't fractured. may be just a sprain, but worth having it looked at with an xray
if it hurts u SO BAD and if you CANT MOVE IT... then its broken...
but if you CAN move it.. then you shouldn't worry about it .. it willl be ok in few days
Elevate and ice. This should reduce swelling. Keep ice on for 5 minutes then off for 5. Repeat for an hour. Go to a walk in clinic if you can't get the swelling down .Wrap the effected area with a tensor bandage. Is there any discolouration?
can you wiggle your toes? if not go to the doc or hospital. if you can take some aliave for the swelling and the pain. ice it and the elevate it above your hart , and then watch a good moving or something to occupy your mind
good luck
