Well, it all started out 4 years ago when me and my brother were jumping off of swings. Yeah I know pretty dumb. But I did it and landed on the side of my foot and colapsed. Well, I couldn't walk on it for like ...3 months. In total it hurt for 1 year non stop. Now it hurts on and off but now it really hurts.I was in a different country and/or contenent and didn't go to the doctor. Pretty dumb also. Well, after that it hurt whenever I just hurt it alittle it would hurt a lot. I'm going to the doctor but I have 2 wait for my mom to get back from a trip. What does it sound like 2 u? I also heard a loud crack when I landed. Does that mean I broke it? Is it possible that I broke it and it didn't grow back corrctly? What should I do? Do u think it is serious? surgery? Im only 12 FYI.

I injured my ankle 8 years ago, went to the doctor, got PT and it still hurts. There's a lot the Physical Therapist can do for you helping you with walking and running. However,surgery is unlikely to be a good option. I can't tell you whether you broke it or just tore something, but an X-ray will. However, good running shoes (go to a store that caters to runners) will help a lot if you do run track or cross country.

Keep track of the things that make your ankle hurt, so that you can tell this to the doctor. If the injured area is swollen (compare it to your other foot) then ice the area. Taking ibuprofen is also good to reduce the pain (and swelling), but you should definitely ask your mom before taking any, since you may not be able to take it. Oh, and until you see the doctor, avoid running or jumping, or doing anything else that makes it hurt. You could have damaged bones, or maybe ligaments, but only an x-ray will tell for sure.

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.

o.k. the first element that your gonna prefer to make your innovations up is in the experience that your gonna use one crutch or 2. i tips one (causes will become sparkling in a minute) and this also signifies that your determination of leg to sprain is way less complicated. if you're acceptable exceeded then sprain the left ankle so as that the crutch is on your left hand. this suggests your acceptable hand is loose to carry books, carry espresso, etc. because your gonna prefer to shop up this charade throughout college hours its gonna be a lengthy day in case you won't be able to do something for your self and this way you are able to do a lot extra. Now to commence with all you'll choose is a few tape, a stone and the crutches. Crutches can often be gotten in large pharmacy's, or perhaps certain hospitals devoid of an exam. inspite of in the experience that they do, sprains are very not uncomplicated to diagnose and as such they often supply you the great thing about the doubt. next, tape a small sharp stone to the bottom of your foot. this may remind you not purely which foot is injured (heavily its uncomplicated to ignore) yet as well upload a sense of realism once you ignore and attempt to stroll. in case you am i able to would propose wearing a sock over the taped foot (thats acceptable tape the entire foot) and then placed a open toed sandal on over that. wish this helps :) chuffed limping

well, you probably fractured it, if you dont get medical attention, it will heal by itself, but very paifully. Also, theres a BIG chance it will heal the wrong way and everytime you put pressure on it, it will twinge, to say the least.
good luck
