How do you know if your ankle is broken/twisted?!


Question: How do you know if your ankle is broken/twisted.?
I've been having major problems playing tennis because of my right ankle. One day while I was biking I twisted it a little bit but didn't think that it caused any harm. Now, a week later I can barely stand on it. When I put pressure on it, it puts tears in my eyes. When I turn my foot to the side (with the bottom of my foot facing the left) it's absolutely unbearable, and now my left foot is starting to feel the way this one started out. I don't have insurance because I usually try to keep myself as healthy as possible. But a bill from the ER could cost me a pretty penny so if it's in any way possible to fix it myself I'd be way better off obviously. Thanks anyone with advice/experience. :)Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You really should spend the money and have it x-rayed. When I broke my ankle, I didnt realize it was broken at first. A friend of mine had the same experience. But eventually, the pain will be searing and that is a sign that its serious. Go ASAP or else the bone will start to set the wrong way, and you dont want that.Health Question & Answer
