Hello dance net lovelies,

I twisted my ankle and fell onto it while I was out waking my dog yesterday. It was incredibly painful and I remember feeling and hearing a king of tweak. I could still kind of walk on it without putting my heel down, so I managed to get home and ice and elevate it. The photo is about 20 minutes after and it is more swollen now. I’ve got a tubigrip on and can manage to hobble around the house and I’m keeping it raised when I’m sat down as this seems to ease the pain slightly, as well as taking paracetamol/ibuprofen. I’m trying to avoid the hospital really, I’m just not for sitting there for three hours to be told it’s a bad sprain and just to do what I’m doing anyway. I’ve been googling away and I found something that says it’s unlikeky to be broken if I can walk more than 4 steps. Does this sound accurate?

Feeling very frustrated, I don’t do being laid up very well!
