I think I broke my ankle. It's swolen and I can't put weight on it but the doctor says I didn't break a large bone. It hurts to move and to touch. Should I get it casted or what?:confused:

You should get whatever the doctor advised. We are in no position to advise you on this as we cannot see your x-ray.

Some breaks require a cast, others require a boot, some even require a pressure boot. It all depends on the kind of break and location.

Go to a good orthapedic

I asked this same question like a week ago, right before I left for the ER. I thought I may have broken my ankle but wasn't sure because I have a high tolerance for pain and it didn't hurt terribly bad, and I have sprained it a million times when I used to be in sports so I didn't want to overreact. I went to the ER and had a fracture and a small chip off a bone. I was put in a semi hard cast (hard along the bottom of the foot and up the back of the lower leg, then just wrapped). I followed up 10days later with an orthopedic doc and am now just in a splint/brace.

They wouldn't let you leave with a broken ankle without casting it if they felt you needed it. Trust me, sprains can sometimes hurt worse than breaks. Talk to them about getting a brace or something to support your ankle while it heals.
