what could be wrong if anything with my ankle... I hurt it playing soccer, I don't remember exactly what I did. But I played it off. Later in the day I was driving over to get some food and it would hurt whenever I push the clutch in, or bend it certain ways.. It's swollen up now and just hurts to touch some areas and move it some ways. I cant still walk on it though :\

Freaky for sure. Might be a sprain. Might be tendinitis. Anything that hurts that much might benefit from a checkup. How about ice, heat, ace wraps, elevation, rest, etc?

I couldn't find a wrap or anything, but i've been keeping it elevated.. It is still swollen and hurts to bend in some ways arg!

when you hurt your ankle did it "Pop" or did it make a "crunchy" noise?<P>pop = simple sprain<BR>crunchy = possible dislocated foot bones.<P>im not a Doc, but after 13 years of skateboarding, i have lots of first hand knowledge.

Ohh yea...ice it, one asprin a day, and wrap it in a bandage before beddie-bye.<P>if it crunched, check your range of motion compared to the other.<BR> <BR>If its the same (even if it hurts to move) = Your fine.<BR>If its less (especialy if it DOESNT hurt) = find a good friend or family memeber to pull your foot away from your leg while slowly and CAREFULLY working the range of motion. That should re-align the bones after a few days of working.<BR>=o)

Well it has been a week now. No I didn't hear any noise.. If there was one I wouldn't have heard it. Hmm it still hurts to turn certain ways or if I push it on some areas but yea. I'm trying to not think on it much.
