Is my bf's ankle broken or sprained and how bad?
My bf was playing basketball and had some really big guy fall on his ankle. He came home and could barely walk on it or put any pressure on it or touch it. We iced it on and off for 30 mins and kept it elevated. The swelling stayed minimal and its day #2 and he can still barely walk on it. He uses crutches and such but doesnt like to put pressure on it if he doesn't have to. How do we know if its broken or sprained?
He doesnt have insurance so we cant see a doctor.

um...this is a tough one....how about you SEE A DOCTOR? No one on here can tell you if it's broken or sprained if the only symptom is "it hurts, it's not that swollen, and he can't really walk on it"
