i was running around my house stupidly, and i fell down the stairs lop/sided on my ankle. it hurts like hell...and its swollen as big as a melon. i dont think iits broken, but it hurts like hell. im all alone, only depended on my own, what can i do to help it? i have been crawling up and down the stairs getting ice and pain reliefers, whats else can i do to help it?
micha: it doesnt hurt that bad, nothing appears to be broken. I would call my family for help, but i cant get ahold of them, nor any of my friends. George: that would be dandy and all, but the problem is is that i have no weed at the moment. Besides, i have a pipe. tylenol and ice actualy help alot, just cant walk on it ... i should probably lay in bed...but then i would have nothign to do but worry about the pain :/
Put ice in a baggie and stick it on their, stay off of it as much as possible for a day or two then walk it off!
Okay, this one seems obvious but still, we don't think about it as long as we're healthy... really think it over what you need & what you may need an hour from now, before you navigate the stairs so you don't have to bother with them more than necessary! Hope you feel better soon!
Put one of those wraps around it to apply pressure and keep ice on it. And stay off it and elevate it for a few days.
elevate your ankle...ice constantly and pain meds. if you have sports wrap, i'd wrap your ankle up, just to give it some stability. if it keeps acting up, i'd get an appointment with a doctor.
i was lucky enough to find a bandage, and that helped quite alot! i have had ice on it for the past hour now, and now my foot is frozen numb. Hopefully i can walk by monday...but then again, if i cant walk, i can use the school elevator without getting in trouble
