Last night I fell down a flight of stairs and rolled my ankle bad. It’s black and blue and swollen but my s/o has no sympathy for me already. In context I only ask her to help me to the bathroom. Besides crawling, which I do now, should I duke it out more? I just don’t understand, I can’t physically put weight on it(without involuntarily screaming).
it should be elevated and iced continuously. if it doesn’t improve somewhat in 24hrs, go to urgent care/ED because it may be broken.
DO NOT walk on it or put any weight on it.
Thank you
also, don’t take anything stronger than ibuprofen so you can gauge the pain. that’s diagnostically relevant.
