    Default Well today I

    took a bad fall. I was walking down the ramp and all of a sudden I went down for no reason. I landed on my right knee, hip and I hurt my ankle. Now this is the same ankle I broke almost 5 years ago. Itswelled up to the size of a softball. So I go into ER, did the waiting had exrays and was told the exray didnot show a break. But in the same breath I was told in might be broken. They did this to me last time I broke it told me it was fine and a year laterthey reexrayed it and told me oh you broke it.I will see my Dr on Thrusday so maybe I will get it exrayed again. Itsure does hurt.

    So sorry to hear that. Hopefully all it is - is a bad sprain and that you will be up and around in no time.

    ~That really stinks! I guess you'll just have to treat it like a break for now until you can see your doctor. Rest up and I hope it feels better really quickly!~

    Awww Fern, sorry to hear you had a fall. I agree with nuisance in treating it like it was broken until you hear back from doctor. Are you able to bring your xray to the Dr or ask the hospital to send it over so they can review it?

    oh man Fern..... I am so sorry. My son had the "it may be broken" thing happen this winter. It was so swollen with fluid, the xray couldn't verify if it was broken or not. So, we too treated it as if it was broken for a week till the fluid went down. Thankfully, our wasn't broken, and hopefully yours isn't either!
