Hi i am new so hope this is right!

about 5 weeks ago i was particpating in athletics, the hurdles indoor when i slipped on some water on the floor. i fell hard on the side of my ankle hurting the bone inparticular. i participated for a little while longer then had to sit in cuz it hurt alot. i then put ice on ot and continued my day at uni finisheing off my work.

after 4 weeks the pain was still there so i decided that i should go and see the nurse she got me to walk different ways and then looked at it. she said she thinks it was still swollen cuz there was still fluid there so she worked on my foot and i felt a stabbing pain when she worked near my anlkle bone. when i mentioned it she dint actually say anything and carried on. when i left the pain was more intense. she gave me exercises to do to help move the fluid.

one week on my ankle is still swollen and hurts more! the stabbing pain is still there along with a pain that i cant really describe and seems to be constant. i know that i should really wait more than a week to feel the results its just this pain really hurts and as i am on a sports course i am use to being active which ive had to sit out on and its getting me down so action is needed im just not sure what to do

thanx
jennie
