I was walking with my son on Wed, fell and twisted my ankle
I wobbled home--and practiced R I C E
Yesterday, I did my crossing guard job and came home and rested (so it can bear weight)
Today, it hurt to even try to put on my shoe--it is swollen three times the normal size--however it does not hurt if I am standing, and I just walk slower.
Should I go to urgent care and have it checked out--or is this something that just might take time?
I am suppose to work timing 2 races this weekend--and though not worried about timing--I am worried about carrying equipment.
IF I wasn't scheduled to work this weekend I would not go to urgent care-I would do the same thing as I am now, just resting it and taking it easy--However--with working--there is walking involved---depending on how far the race sight is from registration--etc.
Do you think I should let my boss know my ankle is sprained--or should I go to urgent care t make sure it isn't fractured.
The swelling is worse in the morning---I have pain if I try to move it left or right--but no pain if sitting or just standing.
