but then it kept hurting and it was broken?
I'm asking because I thought I got a nasty sprain. Been hobbling on it for two weeks, kind of ignoring it cause it was the week of my sons' graduation. But it definitely really hurts. I'm worried that it's broken and that when I go to the dr's they're going to have to take a hammer to it to rebreak it or something like that. Believe me, I'm a coward. I could walk on a broken ankle for 3 weeks but freak at going to the dr's to get it fixed.

I did ...... tho, I had broken mine 7 weeks earlier and had been out of the cast for a week when I rebroke one of the bones.

The actual fracture does not hurt that much when breaking a bone - the ligament/muscle damage is the killer for pain! So the second time around, I just had a fracture in my ankle - and I had a throbbing pain in the ankle, mainly when I stopped walking on it .........

I would go get it checked just in case - is probably a sprain - the muscle/ligaments can take a while to heal.

I sprained my senior year (30 years ago) and it still hurts a lot. A bad sprain is much worse than a clean break

What is a senior year and where is it?

I partied my senior year and almost didnt' graduate. LOL.

I tore a tendon in my ankle and thought it was a sprain, I ended up in a cast up to my knee for 6 weeks...also had a hairline fracture in the other ankle thought was thought to be just a sprain until I went to the orthopedic doc who found the break..

I'm just hoping that if it's broken and has to be in a cast it will be small enough that I can hobble my way down the stairs to the beach.

No, but I thought I broke my ankle once and it turned out to be torn ligaments. I heard them tear and I thought "The only thing in my body that can make a sound like that is a bone breaking." It hurt like hell.

When Larry and I did our ankles in, they just gave us a good "blood letting"

I did mine playing softball. I was in a cast for a month and the day after they took the cast off I played a doubleheader. Oh, to be young and stupid again.

stress fracture, hairline fracture whatever you wanna call it I did it to mine

Yep. Been there, done that....twice on my left ankle and once on my right. It took about 3 weeks before I didn't have to use crutches. Now my ankles are very susceptible to injury, I gotta be careful.

Doncha mean stickball?

I'm gonna stay out of this thread...it's too dangerous for me.

I definitely belong in this thread

Too many times to actually remember a number. A couple of times early on I actually had a cast put on, and then I gave up. Driving a manual transmission does not bode well with having a cast on, so I got used to just wrapping it up and limping around.

I have too many injury stories to even begin here. I could have my own topic on them

I lucked out, I only sprained them, no breaks... (knocking on wood right now... ) I remember getting to the emergency room and before we did xrays the doctor thought my left foot was broken. It sure felt like they it was broken though and the doctor even said that sometimes a sprain can hurt more than a break.
