See the small bump right there, and the bruise? I'm kind of worried that I sprained my ankle.
So what happened today in gym class when we were playing mattball (similar to baseball but instead of hitting the ball you kick it, and instead of bases, mats) is I was on the kicking team and I kicked it, and then I stopped at second base. Another person on my team kicked the ball and the person trying to catch it ran after it, and then saw me running, and threw the ball at me. I think he was going for my leg but he hit my ankle and I tripped and you know...twist.
I had to sit out afterwards and my eyes were all watery and it hurt alot. :/ I could still walk but it hurt to move it, although I made it to the bus and got home.
So I'm also checking out symptoms of a sprained ankle online, and here's what I found.
With most sprains, you feel pain right away at the site of the tear. Often the ankle starts to swell immediately and may bruise. The ankle area is usually tender to touch, and it hurts to move it.
In more severe sprains, you may hear and/or feel something tear, along with a pop or snap. You will probably have extreme pain at first and will not be able to walk or even put weight on your foot. Usually, the more pain and swelling you have, the more severe your ankle sprain is and the longer it will take to heal.
Okay, so I did feel pain when I hurt my ankle, and I did hear a little crack. I also could barely walk, and didn't put it on the floor when I sat down because it was too much pressure. And in the picture above, there's a bruise and a bump.
But seeing as if the bruise and bump both aren't that big, I don't think the sprain is that bad. Still hurts, though. -
Oh dear oh dear that doesn't look good

I think I'll be alright, though. It hurts a tad less now but still sore. I'm going to get a pillow for my foot. Brb.
