So its Tuesday today and I was playing with my dog and I didn't want to step on him becahse he was right behind me... so I went to turn and hurt my ankle... its sprained I know it is its happened before and even my sister knows.. so don't say go see a dr. LOL.. but I have to work this thing I do every year and its this Sunday!! Will it be okay by then... I can walk on it but can't put all pressure on it... it looks likt there is a golf ball where my bone would stick out on the side of my ankle? OK so yea my question is will I be OK by then??

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.

No one will take me to a dr so that's out of the question

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.

Call the community transit every town has one and get a ride to er they will xra give you a splint so u can walk on it fine for your event
