Thread: What does an ankle sprain look like? Can it look like a huge black and blue misshapen grapefruit?

Oh, and I can't walk on it.
Because that's what my ankle looks like this morning after I tripped on a couple steps last night. I'm auditioning for a musical tomorrrow that involves dancing. I can't have a broken ankle.
Thanks. It turns out I have what they call a 3rd degree sprain. My sense of values has totally changed. Not even thinking about dancing right now, just pain meds lol.

It could be a sprained ankle or more. Sorry about it! I hope you are able to perform well. Hot packs will help get the swelling down. But if its very painful, you should try not to dance. At least not without medical advice.

Yes that sounds like a sprain but it could be broken also. You would need a doctor to tell you that. Have a look at this link.

I doubt you'll be able to dance on it tomorrow even if it isn't broken.

it could be sprung. Is it hard to walk on? when you walk do you feel anything moving?

Go see a dr. dpn't preform any type of dancing until you no, other wise you could cause MORE Damage and it could get bad enough to have to go into surgery!

aw man that sucks. yeah. that is terribly sprain. i dont think you would be able to dance by the time it heals...

u bet it will,and weak forever!be careful on that foot!
