Is My Ankle Sprained Or Fractured?
I have rolled my ankle many times in the last two years but we haven t gone to get it checked out yet. Today during soccer practice I heard a crack and my ankle immediately became numb. I can walk on it mostly normal but when I touch in certain places on the bone it hurts. I can t tell if it s a fracture or a sprain.

Hello,
If you can walk, then it's not fracture.
Fracture is very painful to walk.
It could be sprain.
My advice is to have an X-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
