Q: I was playing footy yesterday when I came down on my ankle the wrong way. I am pretty sure I rolled it - I did not hear a distinct 'pop', only the kind of clicking noise that I've heard before with rolled ankles. It was alright to walk on within about ten minutes. I wrapped it with an Ace bandage when I got home and was alright walking around on it. This morning, it still hurts, right below the sticky-out bone and around the front of my ankle. But it is not swollen, bruised, etc. I can walk fairly easily, although I do limp a little. It clicks a bit as well. Should I be worried about more serious injury, like a torn ligament? Other than RICE, is there anything I should be doing for it? Thanks! Edit: Robert, I'd really prefer something just a /touch/ less fanciful and a bit more concrete. My ankle is very stiff this evening but hurts less. I was on it, and moving, for several hours today, and I think I may have tweaked it a bit by accident. I can bend it up towards me, point my toe, and flex outwards. It is difficult to flex in towards my other foot and still clicks when I walk if it's not wrapped. Opinions that are not mad?
A: Ice, heat & rest. If you are able to walk on it, I don't think the ligament is torn. If it gets to bad, go to the Dr.
