can you still walk on a broken ankle?

Yesterday is fell on some ice. when i went down i heard something pop in my ankle and there is a buldge on the outside of my ankle now. I was about to stand up from the fall using that foot putting all my weight on it. Is it possiable that is can be broken and i can still walk on it?

    Yes it is possible. There are so many bones in the ankle and foot area that they can support each other if one was broken. If you are worried about it, see a doctor. Don't take our advice on Y!A.

    If it WAS broken, there is NO way you'd be able to stand up. Ergo, you foot is not broken, sprained, or any other type of injured.

    it sounds like a really bad sprain. you probably tore some ligaments. thats why you heard the pop and the bump. i would see a doctor.
