Is my ankle bruised or not?
OK, let me get the embarrassing bit over first... about 1 and a half months ago I fell in a ditch because I was laughing at my friend so much (she was being stupid when we where walking home from school and she made me laugh ALOT) that I wasn't watching where I was going and fell... I a ditch smaller than my foot. I was on the ground for about 45mins because I couldn't move it and I couldn't stand on it. When I was on the ground the pain was so excruciating that all I felt like doing was crying but I was laughing instead... which made it worse from the pressure of my laugh. It's been 1 and a half months since then (like I said) and my ankle is still in a massive size... you can tell when you compare my other ankle with my twisted one. I can't do much running or anything that involves my foot for long periods because it starts hurting. Its never been like this before I twisted it. I can't lean it on a certain angle... it must always be straight otherwise that to causes me discomfort. I'm worried because I don't know what wrong with my foot. I don't know if it's good or bad... and I don't know if I should see a doc or not. Please help me! I don't want to be reduced to not being able to do much exercise! That's my personal goal and I can't do that if my foot doesn't allow me to do long periods of exercise without becoming fatigue! I just want my normal foot back :(
