To Know if you have sprained your wrist, is, discoloration, swelling, and if you write that should hurt too. Now, to treat it, what you need to do is= ice for 15 to 20 minutes a day, wrap the hurt area of the wrist, and don't do physical activity unless you feel up for it. Swimming is fine because it doesn't use your wrist. And also this means missing Phys. Ed if you have to!
No, it can be sprained without being swollen.
bad sprained ankle.
would if you don't have insurance to go to the hospital
If your foot pops with every step you take and you have a sprained ankle, you need to see a doctor. You may have a broken bone that needs to be reset before it heals up. An orthopaedic doctor should be able to help you.

No, that is not a foul it may be a sprained ankle, though.
Tell your coach wrap it around with some type of good padding
Generally, you want to keep off the foot/ankle. Icing the foot can help, and in some cases so can gentle massage. Also, you should try to keep the foot elevated when not in use.

Most I've heard of dogs with sprained feet is that they favor it, cry with the pain, yelp and whine, but I haven't heard of a dog licking the injured foot. I've never had a dog with a sprained foot before, so I'm not any expert or anything. It really depends on the dog's view of how to make the pain go away. Some may try licking, and some may just whine and cry. when my dog kept licking his paw i had a closer look and found he had a thorn between his pads. if its the same paw he keeps licking have a good look at it, its normally a sign that something is wrong.
Usually, you can walk on a sprained ankle, but it is EXTREMELY painful. This is NOT advised. The best way to take care of a sprained ankle is to ice twice a day, 20 minutes each time, wrap it in an ace bandage or a firm, cast, and avoid moving it or walking. It is good to stretch a bit by gently moving your foot back and forth if you are able. Slow biking on a stationary bike is good conditioning, but do not run or walk too much.
The only way you can tell if you have sprained an ankle is to go to the emergency room and see a doctor. I would stay off the injured ankle until you find out the results.
