Hi, i'm marco. 3 days ago I sprained my ankle, an orrible sprain. My doc bandaged and give me painkillers couse the pain was unbearable. Doc sayd I must use a crutch to help me walking, but the ankle got swollen and swollen. Actually I can't walk on it i'm using 2 crutches without putting weight on the foot, the foot is so swollen that I can't put a shoe on it. In 2 days i'll have x ray.

I think it is not just sprained, but it must not be a serius injury couse I walked on it. Mybe I torn a ligament? Or a little break in the bone?

This is thefoot
