My Ankle is messed up. Any advice ?

[polm]

I was in a small bicycle accident about 1 month ago. I sprained my wrist and I hurt my ankle. At first I thought I had just sprained my ankle and that the pain would go away.

Well, it has been a month and my ankle still hurts. The pain is pretty strong when I go up stairs, or any activity that puts a lot of stress on it.

I was sick about a week ago and I spent about 24 hours in bed. I noticed that after I the illness my leg felt much better (almost pain-free) , until I had put a day of walking around and stairs on it...then it started hurting again.

So I was wondering if you all think I should go get it X-Rayed, wrap it up with something, stay off of it COMPLETELY for a couple days, or just stop my whining .

Wrap it up and see what happens in a couple of weeks if ti still hurts go to the doc

it could be a hairline fracture, in that case, keep weight off of it, and don't twist your ankle.

Would an ankle wrap be effective if I have a hariline fracture ?

Ever heard of a Doctor?

You need Xrays and professional advice.

I have broken MANY MANY bones in my body. Especially legs and feet. I am pretty damn positive that this is not a serious injury. But I am willing to see a doctor if this whole Ankle Wrap thing doesnt help.

If its your non kicking foot I would just amputate it.
