    Most times a sprain is worse than a break. Takes longer to heal. You have many small bones in that area that are easily broken. Guess what, I'm going to tell you to see a doctor and get some x-rays taken. This is the only way you will know for sure.

    I sprained my ankle a few months ago and it took me a week on crutches and 2 weeks of hopping around until I was able to put weight on it. Ice it. Put a bandage on it and you may be able to get an air cast from a medical supply place. Then it just keeps it stable.

    Why won't anyone take you to a doctor? If it is broken you can cause more damage by not getting it taken care of.
