What Is The Treatment For Injured Ankle After Fell From Foot Bolder?
I jumped off a 7-8 foot bolder today and landed straight down on my ankles. I could not walk for about 5 minutes. once I could walk I continued to hike. They still hurt quite a bit for over 30 minutes, while hiking. It's been about 7 hours now and they no longer hurt. Should I get my ankles checked out?

Hello,
The concern would be for a broken bone after such a fall. Signs of a broken bone are bruising and swelling and tenderness when you press on the bones. If you have any of these signs or if you have trouble walking then you should see a doctor.
