Ankle injury

[CoN]

Hi there, recently I had hurt my ankle while practicing the "superman " punch. When had made a small jump my foot shifted and my entire body handed on the side of my ankle and I fell to the ground. After the injury I put some ice on it and stayed off my feet for the time being.

When I get it up, it hurts my ankle every time I put even body weight on both legs. Its very painful for me to walk around so I have to hop around the house. I have never gone to the doctors for a physical injury before but is there any way to avoid a trip to the doctor's? Reason being is its gonna be an long commute for me to get there and I have to hop around to the clinic as well, so I really don't want to go if I don't have to.

Anyway I never had an ankle injury before so I don't know whats wrong with it. I think it might be sprained but I cant even get up without my ankle hurting as of right now. Do twisted/sprained ankles eventually heal without the care of a doctor? Any help/information is appreciated, thank you

Go know! You might have sprained it - only or done some serious damage, bone, cartilage or tendons! Have it X rayed and taken care off. Best case scenario, a cast, worst case some surgery. But do not delay any further: Old injuries are harder to treat than new ones.

thanks for the reply, I did get it checked out after all and it ended up being a sprain. So I just gotta stay off my feet for a bit and I'll be fine. Doctor said it would be a couple weeks before my ankle fully heals.
