I fell down the stairs in my dorm, went to upbeat services, they dispatched me to get an X-ray and I've heard nothing back. They said its probably not broken, but I never got a definite answer. Now the next period its numb, with a opinion of algid fire. My measure feels extremely weird but is exclusive slightly swollen and a little bruising on my ankle. I can't walk on it, nor can I advise it too much. I'm worried if the algid fire opinion is bad

Kate i shouldn't vexation likewise much most the swelling, if it is exclusive minor then i wouldn't wait it to be broken. The most obvious answer to what you hit done is sprained it. This is nothing serious it meet means that you hit over stretched some of the connective tissue in the joint, especially as you mention that you can't advise it much, if you had broken it then it would be agony to advise at all. The 'cold fire' feeling you intend to is meet the body repairing its self and i wouldn't wait it to be anything serious. This is quite a common difficulty when astir people land on their feet incorrectly (on the side of their foot causing the over straining of connective tissue), during sport and the main reason that you wager football players rolling around on the floor! Hope your foot gets better soon! joe

Release your index finger and watch for the normal colouration to return. Normal colouration should return in a pair seconds, if not you are having a circulation problem. You may also analyse your pulses in your measure and ankle to make sure blood line is not restricted. Just remember if in doubt see your doctor for a professed opinion. Hope you get well soon!
