Rolled my ankle at Cross country no swelling?
So I was on the trail at cross country and I rolled my ankle but I didn't fall over and I continued on. I did a 5k with the pain and it was bearable. I iced it when I got home and the pain went away a little. I'm having trouble though because it is not swollen at all but I hurts to put walk on it. This injury is by no means life affecting because I just walk with a small limp. I want to go to the doctors but I feel I should skip practice today just so it won't get worse... I want to go to the doctors But I don't know what they wil say because nothing looks wrong with my ankle maybe the muscle is bruised and the bruise will appear tomorrow... :/
Okay so what I am asking is should I go see a doctor or should I just be careful with my foot when I'm running and ice it and take Motrin or what???
THANKS (:

Keep using ice, elevate and take an over-the-counter pain medication, Ibuprofen or Aleve.
It is possible that it is only a sprain type injury. However, with that being said, you may have suffered a more serious type injury - avulsion type fracture where the tendon is pulled off the bone.
I definitely would recommend seeing your doctor, so you can be examined and perhaps have x-rays taken to determine if there is any type of fracture.
