How do I know if my ankle is sprained or fractured?
It could be any of the two, either sprained or fractured or some ligaments torn. What is happening is the injury gets a little healed and then one minor twist of the foot again sends it to the very original condition. What actually you need is a complete check up, and you may have to keep it bandaged (so it is immobile for a while) and probably some analgesics too with that. The other thing the physician will advise is that you give your this ankle a special treatment so there are no possibilities of any further trauma as that will worsen the situation and it will become chronic which will then ask for a surgery to fix. So be careful with your this ankle in future while walking or running.
