I was playing basketball with my brother when I landed wrong on my ankle. My ankle twisted completly to the other side and it hurt so bad. It immidiatly swelled up and it is all bruised and very tender I can barely touch it. I can also barely move it and I can't walk on it. My dad and my brother had to help me back to the house because I couldn't walk I had to put one arm around my brothers shoulder and one arm around my dads shoulder and I used them as a crutch. whenever I put weight on the ankle I feel pain and I fall because my ankle can't support my weight. I can't get up after I fall so my dad and brother have to help me up again. I only tried this once to test it and it obviously didn't go very well. I am going to the doctor tomorow but I wan't toknow what I can expect and maybe what you think is wrong. I currently am using a wheelchair that my dad had from when he sprained his knee. My parents don't want me to use crutches untill we can get themset to the right height for me

I heard/felt pop when I fell on it. I also have an ace bandage on it. This happened about 2 hours ago and the swelling hasn't subsided and nothing has really changed. I guess I could try to see if I can stand/walk on it but I don't think I should because It still hurts so badly. Oh and this is my left ankle and I have sprained a things before but itnever felt that bad

sounds like a fracture... the same thing happened to my friend and his ankle broke... go to a doctor, soon.

Go to the doctor- sounds like you broke it ( I broke mine 6 months ago).
