so i twisted it in basketball and when i did, there was this popping sound and i had to limp off the court because my foot was sorta numb. i have not visited the doctor but after i red it up on the bench, i went back in the game to finish the quarter. afterwards, i went to walgreens to buy the ace ankle brace that ties up and has rubbery ankle supports on the sides. it was fairly swollen that night but the next morning it doubled in swolleness (if that is even a word). the swollen part is sort of like yellowish greenish bruised kinda color.
i haven't seen a doctor because i'm used to getting sprains and stuff but it hasn't ever been swollen for this long and having discoloration like this. do you know what might be wrong with it?I twisted my ankle 3 days ago and it is still swollen, help?
Go to the doctor.I twisted my ankle 3 days ago and it is still swollen, help?
It's very possible that you broke it or badly sprained it I would recomend you go to the doctors to get an x-ray or an MRI. Until then keep it elevated, if possible go get crutches if it hurts to walk on it. Once I thought I just pulled a ligament in my ankle but turns out its broken. If you do get crutches put extra padding on it to prevent chaffing. Hope it helps ;)I twisted my ankle 3 days ago and it is still swollen, help?
Ankle sprains can be treated with the RICE method
R - Rest
I - Ice
C - Compression
E - Elevation
The method of injury and brusing you describe could be a sprain. If the swelling doesn't start reducing then see your doctor.
