The rain was pretty bad today! If the pain doesn't subside within 12 hours, I would say you should head to the doc's. In any case, I hope you get better soon!

still swollen (your ankle)? Do you have range of motion? no cracking sounds?

Ren's advice is good. Ice it and check for motion.

Hope you get better.

my brother thought he had just spraned his arm when he fell off is scooter, just came in and asked for ice, all on his own power (nine yrs old). then that night he said that it still hurt just a much. my parents said, wait till morning, so he went to school, then came home early cause the nurse at school saw a frature! thats why i said doc.

If you go to the doc he can tell you if it is sprained, or if it is broken.

If it is broken, then you will get a cast.

If it is sprained, you will get a splint.

Without these your muscles will not set right and you might feel pain all the time.
