Possible ankle sprain
I stepped into a hole and twisted my ankle pretty badly, but that's all I thought it was because I walked on it for another good solid hour without pain or wobbliness. However after I got home and started resting it, it started feeling a lot more like a sprain, and now I can't put all of my weight on my foot without limping and it is very stiff. I'm doing R.I.C.E. currently. Could this be an ankle sprain/strain, and if so, what grade?
could be ankle strain or sprain. an xray could confirm. either way u need to rest properly. make sure u dont walk with that foot till swelling and pain is completely gone. ideally we advice bed rest for 2 weeks. you need to use crepe bandage as well. have trypsin-chymotrypsin tablet to reduce swelling.
