A few days ago at cheerleading i did my back-hand spring and landed wrong and hurt my ankle. I don't know what is wrong with it. It is very swollen and hurts to put pressure on the back part by my heal. Please help. What should i do? Doctor? Or ER?

Did you hear a pop? Doctors will x-ray then end up telling you to ice, compress (wrap it), and rest it. test your range of movement..does it only hurt to put pressure or when you move it at all? Try IB Profin~ it wil help with the swelling. Source(s): Studied athletic training and have had several sprains.

ReplyDeleteIt is common for kids your age to hurt themselves in sports, cheerleading and life. If you just have swelling and no bruising then you should be fine with icing it down, wraping it up and keeping it elevated.If it turned dark red/purple/black or if you have some numbness then go see a doctor. Also if you can't take the edge off the pain with the recommeded dosage of aleave or tylenol then see your doctor. Source(s): EMT
