Rolled or sprained my ankle last night....ugh?

I rolled my ankle last night wearing heels and slipping on wet sidewalk. I heard a loud crackling noise,but didn't think anything of it. It hurt to walk in the first few seconds, but the pain wore off enough so I just went home. Now, this morning it hurts to walk fast, or put too much pressure on it.I've rolled my ankle before and it's never hurt the next day before... Do you think i sprained it? I can walk on it and it's not swollen.

    Never mind about removing the spaces, THE SPAM MERCHANT ABBY should remove herself and her fellow SPAM MERCHANTS who - so far today - are all posting the same answer (i.e. steve dr, lisa etc)

    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.

    Heal your ankle fully & fast?

    This is probably a light sprain. Just watch out that the ankle isn't loose and this happens again. No heels for a short period lol

    once you roll your ankle you sprained your ankle. it frequently motives a stretching of the tendons around the joint. there is not a huge distinction that's in basic terms in the degree or seriousness that makes a distinction.

    it;s prob just a light sprain, if you can walk on it and it's not swollen. if it gets worse you might want to check with a doctor. hope it gets better soon!

    If you can walk on it, walk yourself to a doctor.
