i think my daughter broke her ankle but i am not sure it is not black and blue but it is swollen?

Question

she can not bend the ankle but she can bend the toes all but the last 2 toes

Answer 1

It is best to have it x-rayed. Put some ice on it and take her to an urgent care center. When my son broke his ankle it did not bruise until later and he was still able to move his toes. You'll feel better when you know for sure. Hope things turn out OK!

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

She may very well have a break but the onoly eay to be 100% is to have an x-ray done. Until then always remember R.I.C.E. Rest it, Ice it, compress it with an ace bandage wrapped lightly not too tight with the wrap going towards the body and Elevate it.

Answer 4

If she has trouble putting weight on it or if she can't move it up or down or around for that matter, it very well may be broke. Watch the color, if it turns dark blue/black, it's broke. Keep it iced and elevated for now, but prepared to see a Doc for x-rays.

Answer 5

Take her to the doctor for x-rays. I may be a hair line fracture or just a bad sprain.

Answer 6

Take her to the Emergency Room. How is typing on answers supposed to help your daughter?

Answer 7

take her to a doctor. the swelling is probably limiting her toe movements but it could be more serious. how, when did the the accident occur? take her to a doctor.

Answer 8

MAYBE SHE SPRANG HER ANKLE. WHEN I BROKE MY ANKLE IT SWELLED UP AND I COULDN'T MOVE A THING.
TAKE HER TO THE ER FOR X-RAY'S TO FIND OUT, BETTER
BE SAFE THEN SORRY. AND ACTUALLY I SHATTERED MY
ANKLE. THEY HAD TO PUT A PIN TO KEEP IT TOGETHER.
I HAD TO STAY OFF MY FOOT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. 6
MONTHS LATER, THEY HAD TO TAKE THE PIN OUT, BECAUSE I WAS SO DESPERATE IN WANTING TO GO OUT
DANCING SO THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE PIN. SO IF I
WERE YOU I WOULD GO HAVE IT CHECK OUT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT CHANGES COLORS.

Answer 9

Sounds like a sprain... i would take her to the ER definetly...i doubt its broken.. if it was broken she would kno and b in a LOT of pain

Answer 10

step away from the computer!!! Get that wee one to ER, they will X-Ray it and tell you for sure...to get any kind of medical information on here is a HUGE mistake!!
