The Girls' Mom Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 My dd12 stepped in a hole while running on Monday and fell, hurting her leg/ankle. It swelled a little, but she could put weight on it. We iced it down and gave her Advil. She has limped around on it all week, saying that it didn't hurt to put weight on it, but it felt "loose". Fast forward to today, it is STILL tender to the touch and it began throbbing and having a sharp pain instead of the dull ache. She can still put weight on it without making it hurt worse. It has become red right at the ankle bone. It is still swollen...but it never swelled a lot. Think she tore/broke something? FWIW, I do have a doctor's appointment for her in the morning. I feel kind of bad for putting it off this long, but we had a super busy week, and it really seemed like a sprain. I should know better. I sent my oldest dd to school with a broken ankle when she was 8. (she popped the top off of the lateral malleolus and she too could still walk on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnitWit Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 No clue here! But I'm glad you are taking her in. I broke my arm twice as a child, but I have a very high level of pain tolerance, so both times it was a few days before we went in because I just kept going. Maybe your dd is like that. :grouphug::grouphug: Saying a prayer for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
