Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi today a friend sat on my ankle and now it really hurts to walk and even hurt when im not walking it looks a little red but i do not know. i took some quizs and they said its sprained. but thats a quiz not a person, i am now putting ice on it, what do i do?
Your friend seems to have injured your ankle. Most likely to be a contusion as a sprain happens when you twist the ankle but this is direct pressure on it.
A compression bandage and ice is the first step and you have started it already. Keep the weight off it by using a crutch or cane. But please note, that if it's not better within 3 to 4 days you need to check it out with an X-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr George Verghese, Orthopaedic Surgeon
