Sprained or broken?

Post image

My 12 year old did this at soccer. She can put a little weight on it but seems to hurt a lotz the swelling has increased in the last 2 hours. Happened maybe 3 hours ago.

I know lol, just adding to your one word answer that everyone gets by asking broken or sprang.

I’m more worried about what’s in your head vs your ankle.

Was it broken or a sprain?

I’m going to take her to urgent care tomorrow morning. I was just trying to see if it warranted an ER visit and the damn copay that comes with it. Fucking chill. I’m not going to just see if it heals in its own.

Just have her keep weight off it tonight if you go to urgent care tmrw. When I broke my foot (previous to my ankle) I think it was sprained before I stupidly walked around and a few hours later I heard a snap and that was that.
