I am a teenager and last weekend I had a all weekend volleyball tournament (Sat.-Sun.) and in the first game of the first match I was in front row and I was at the 10 foot line ready to spike but the setter set up someone else so I 'ran' up to the net to block and when I got there I just didn't walk right I guess and I 'rolled' me ankle inwards. It hurt very much right away but I kept playing and in the next time out I told my coach and she asked if I needed to sit and I said no because I would be out soon anyway. So when I rotated out I told that it still did Hirt and asked her what I should do and she told me to try to walk it off so I did at the end of the bench. I kept playing through the hole weekend through the pain because it was my last tournament this season. My fad bought me a simple inexpensive brace for the weekend to help support it but it is now a week later and I am still on pain but there wasn't much bruising or swelling. What should I do?

The answer to "what should I do" is simply - see a Physician. I have no idea why your coach didn't take you out of the game whether you wanted to or not.

You could have tendon damage, muscle damage, a sprain, something else.

Thank you but the other thing is when I try to tell me parents about it the shrug it off because I'm not playing any sports anymore...

There's no one here who can talk to them on your behalf so perhaps you should tell a teacher or relative and have that person talk to your parents.
