My ankle

On sunday, I fell and landed on my left leg on my ankle. I heard something crack really loud. It got really swollen and puffy. I have dance class every day this week. What did I do to my ankle? What should I do to make it heal? It hurts a little, but...

not when I'm standing.

well ill tell you to still go to dance class but TAKE IT EASY. If it hurts really bad then ask you teacher if you can sit out for a while.

I would go to the doctors to make sure its not broke if it is I would lay off it for a while your bodies more important than dance.

I agree with born. You should really get that checked out. Ankles aren't anything to fool around with. With as many bones, tendons, and chunks of cartilage as an ankle has, you really don't want to be taking chances with an injury. One wrong heal and you're looking at a lifetime of pain with every left step you take.

I would advise you to go to Accident and Emergency. Even if you did it a couple of days ago. Your ankle is precious and if not checked out, can complicate things even further. With dancing, this will put a lot of strain on your muscles and tendons around your ankle area. Not only will you be uncomfortable but you will be clumsy. Take a break and get it checked.

Go to AE, you should really get that looked at.

I wouldn't go to dance class for a while, it could make the injury a lot worse... believe me!

Best of luck

go to the doctors as soon as you can
if you heard a po sounds you probably tore it
and torn ankles take about 6 months to heal
get it checked out at the doctors
theyll know what wrong with it
in the meantime keep it elevated
if its recent, put some ice on it to take the swelling down
dont jump around or go to dance class just yet
rest your ankle and get it checked out to make sure everythings okay first

GO TO THE DOCTOR! If you heard a loud cracking sound, you either broke it or tore something. If you walk on it, it will make it worse and as was said above, you could screw it up permanantly. Forget about dance for a while...
