I rolled my ankle, but there's no swelling?

Question

I stepped off the curb yesterday morning and compltely rolled my ankle outward. It hurt for a minute and then I was able to walk normally with just some soreness. By later that day I was in extreme pain and could not walk on it much. It still hurts alot today in the joint area, where the ankle and foot meet. But still no swelling. Is this most likely just a sprain?

Answer 1

yea, it's probably a sprain, but you must have done this a few times before. i know someone who now has the same symptoms when they roll their ankle. believe there are so many ligaments that are torn or stretched that it doesn't rip things up like it used to the first few times. is there is a ball or knot of tissue on either side of the injured area? those could be old balled up ligaments. if it gets worse you should see a doc, but you should take it easy and use ice to help with the pain.

Could have strained the tendon, in which there would be minimal swelling, but that takes longer to heal actually. If it is still hurting badly in another day or so, get yourself an ankle brace, simple foam thing, and keep it on to help provide support to your ankle. Watch for signs of bruising as well in the next couple days.
I couldn't tell you how many times I have sprained my foot/ankle doing basically the same thing lol. Doesn't feel good, but it does go away.
Good luck.

Rolled Ankle Swollen

Answer 6

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Most likely there is no swelling because you walked it off. Maybe that is why it also hurts so much right now. But this is a good thing. Just give it a couple of days. If it does not feal better go see your doctor. Don't ever put Ben Gay on a sprain. I had to learn the hard way.

Answer 8

I would go get it checked. I twisted my ankle in Feb and since I was at work, I had to get xrays. I was walking on it fine, then the xrays came back I had actually cracked the tip of the bone. I had some swelling the day after, and hardly any bruising, but it was fractured.

Answer 9

Most probably. Be sure to ice it for 20 minutes each hour and keep it elevated above the level of the heart as much as possible to reduce internal swelling.
