Hi there,
i was walking down the stairs and I missed the last step, while on the last two steps, and fell hard onto my ankle, on thursday. I didn't realize how serious a sprain is, so once I could get up after five minutes immobilized, I walked on it for the rest of the night (very stupid, I know now). I went to the doctor on saturday (not my normal doctor) and they took some x-rays. He said it was just a sprain, but what makes me think I fractured it is the point specific pain right at my ankle bone. However, I am able to walk on it (usually on my heels) but I am trying to use crutches (which are so difficult!). Anyway, any opinions? Thanks in advance!
