You could have done one of many things. You could have pulled a muscle, sprained it, stressed a muscle or tendon, broken it, etc. The best thing you could do is to follow RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevate) and see a doctor as soon as you can.

You injured your left foot near the ankle and when you put your weight on it you are in a great deal of pain?

You most likely have a sprained ankle if you are feeling pain when you put your weight onto the ankle. You could also have a fracture in the bone so it is best to seek medical attention to get an x-ray.


How do you convince your dad that your ankle is sprained?

If your ankle is swollen slightly then you should not have to convince your father that you have sprained your ankle. Put hot and cold cloths on it to bring the swelling down and a tensor bandage (not too tight) that you can buy at the drug store. Meanwhile talk to your mother or an aunt to have the ankle looked at in case you have a hairline fracture.

I have had a sprained ankle and it hurts like hell, but if you really want to here are three things you can do: 1.) You can put on some high heels and step off of an office chair and tilt one ankle to the side 2.) You can sit on a chair or couch and tilt your foot to the side and stand up 3.) You can get some high heels on and get 5-10 small balls (tennis or racket) and jump around until you cant jump anymore

How bad does it hurt to sprain ankle?

A sprained ankle can hurt one person and not another. It just depends on a few things. First, it can depend on how sensitive you are to pain. My brother broke his arm in 3 places and did not cry, and when I fell off my bike and scraped my knee I was crying. There are 3 types of sprained ankles: grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3. If you get a grade 1 ankle, you typically will have a little pain, swelling, and tenderness. With grade 1, the ligament is stretched or the fibers of the ligaments are ripped a little. You can tolerate putting your weight on it. With grade 2, some of the fibers are torn but not all of them so there is a big increase in pain, swelling, and tenderness. You usually will have difficulty putting pressure on that ankle. Grade 3 is the worse. The ligament is torn, and you can't put weight on it without a lot of pain. There is a lot of swelling and tenderness. You will need to stay off it (though you should stay off of any sprained ankle). Remember RICE (Rest (stay off of it), Ice (20-30min), Compression (Ace bandage), and Elevation (for first 48 hours)). A broken or fractured ankle/ foot can free the same as a sprained ankle (there are similar symptoms), so it can be quite painful to have a sprained ankle.


Can you still tumble with a mild ankle sprain?

You can, but if you want your ankle to heal quickly then you really should rest it. A sprain is painful, and tumbling will hurt. Plus depending on the intensity of your tumbling, some tumbling (like back-handsprings or tucks) require the tumbler to have strong ankles. When your ankle is sprained, it is not at its full strength. So you need to be careful, because tumbling with your sprained ankle could lead to more injuries. I really suggest that you rest your ankle, put as little weight on it as possible, use ice and heat when needed, wrap it, and give it time. When the pain and swelling goes down a little, start tumbling little by little. You'll be back to tumbling in no time, though, so don't worry. A sprain takes much less time to heal than a fracture does.
