I sprained my ^()#)E*#$% ankle this weekend. Left one. Slipped on ice getting out of the van. It's beautiful out and I want to go for a walk. I can only go for a hobble.

I'm not going. it's getting better, and all they will say is "yup, you sprained it. rest it, elevate it, use ice, and take motrin."

If the pain isn't gone in ~2 weeks see a Dr though. I fell on my ankle and everyone kept telling me it was just sprained, still hurt like a bitch 2 weeks later. After 1mth+ of fighting with the Dr they took an MRI - I came in and he was like "oh, well actually you partially tore a ligament and broke three bones"

I got 4 xrays that never showed the breaks. Apparently hairline fractures don't show up as well (or at all) on xrays, even though it was enough of a break to still be broken a month later, but maybe that had to do with my Dr telling me to just keep walking on it.

Just be careful that you don't break it.

Surely you can find someone to sue over this.

Surely you can find someone to sue over this. Especially since your health insurance premiums are going to shoot through the roof at your next renewal because you went to the ER for a sprained ankle...you'll need to find some revenue somewhere to cover the premium increase...
