so i was getting ready for my basketball game and i tripped over a bench and hurt my ankle bad then i ran on it during my basketball game and then it really started to hurt, i cant really tell if it's swollen but even if i dont move it it hurts really bad, and im feeling some burning/stinging and there was a vain underneath and u can visable see it like through the skin, did i sprain it?? help!!!
OK
RICE Rest (obviously dont walk on it) Ice (ice it 20 mins on 20 off for a day) Compression (strap it or use a compression bandage - not too tight - to support the ankle) Elevate (try to keep the foot up as much as possible - this will help reduce the amount of swelling/fluid build up)
You will probably need a few days off of it and definitely no basketball (my son was a state basketballer/SASI graduate so I do know a bit about ankles) Not sure what the vein thing is, you might have really knocked it on a vein and it has swollen. Keep an eye on it and if its still not better in a couple of days - go see a doctor to make sure.
