How do I know if i broke my ankle?
You may have a stress fracture. Get an X-ray. Usually, when somebody breaks a bone, they know it, but this does not always occur. Until you can see a doctor, keep the ankle elevated, and use ice for about twenty minutes, no longer than that, each hour while awake If you had a serious break, you would not be able to walk at all.
Well, if you’re not in pain even as you typed your question, then it’s not broken. I had a horribly bad sprain a year ago in my right ankle and basically I was limping for over a month. My friend says it’s a level C sprain if its constant stinging pain, B for heavy initial pain, and A for mild temporary pain. If it’s broken, there’s no walking. Try massaging it with your fingers. If you feel its swollen and you somehow feel a sting in what would be the actual bone, then you can pretty much bet its a fracture.
