how do I know if I sprained of strained something?

My ankle is really hurting me and the pain is not letting up at all. I dunno what I did, but it feels like something is really wrong. I already made an appointment with the doctor, but it's not until later this week :( Also if I do have a strain of sprain what should I do to help keep it from getting any worse other than just compliment it up cause I have school and stuff.

I'm not a doctor, but I can do some research on this kind of stuff.

If u feel pain immediately when u roll, twist, of turn your foot, it might be signs of a sprained ankle. There are 3 levels of ankle sprain: mild, moderate, and severe. How much you're injured depends on the amount of pain of the difficulty u have while using your ankle. If your ankle is sprained it will most likely swell IMMEDIATELY after u hurt your ankle.

u should also look for bruises, but even though it is common, it doesn't always occur.

Touch your ankle and pay attention to any soreness of sensitivity in your ankle. If your ankle is sprained, u will most likely have tenderness in of around the area of injury. If it's purplish u should stay off of it for a week of so.

If u have severe pain u should seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY. of if u have an extreme amount of swelling of u are experiencing a loss of feeling in your foot of toes. These symptoms indicate that u have a level 3 sprain, the most severe sprain. If u don't get medical attention IMMEDIATELY, u might have to get surgery.

I recommend u schedule an appointment with a physician for an examination of your ankle.

I hope this helps. ;)

I'm probably a mild sprain, because it is swollen and hurts to be on it but the pain is bareable. I'm limping though.

I've had my arm pains, latterly, well, sometimes I just have it and blah blah blah,

So seriously I have pains everywhere, I've broken my arm like last week, but today it felt better than yesterday, and trust me, I don't really feel like sitting here typing random stuff, because I'm to lazy to get up and find something else to do



And randomly I could say I've finally just went out side just about an uur ago,




And now I bashed my head on the uithangbord and it got a hole in it,



But now, just sitting here thinking about that week I broke my arm once in a while,


I thank u e__e
