I'm female, 16 years old and from the UK and generally healthy. 3 (almost 4) days ago i went to A&E after having an ankle injury that obstructed me weight baring and being healthy to move it. I pronounceable it Big toe first downbound a curb and symptom was almost instant, discompose definitely was immediately after. I had x rays done after the Doctor in the infirmary thought i had fractured my ankle. every of them came back clear, which i was pleased about. so he prescribed me whatever Co-Codamol and mitt me to hobble (which was and still is agonising). As i said its 3 days on and most of the muscular discompose i had has gone, but i still have a deep aching opinion in my ankle at night and when i'm not agitated it, and a sharp stabbing discompose which is stopping me being healthy to bare weight. I'm on crutches for the moment, which i got my friends mum. i elevate it, ice it now and again and its rested most of the time.

Thats possible! My someone went to A+E and they said it was ok and the incoming period they went back and told her she had fractured it. I also broke my ankle and they had to do 3 xrays at assorted angles because at digit angle it looked to be no fracture, and the other digit you could see the fracture. I had the same stabbing opinion in my ankle, i think the best intent is to ready it elvated still and ready ice on it, like you are doing and then go to the doctors who can check it over and then intend you to A+E if necessary. Hope i helped,
