Who is watching this with sprained foot
Edit: This was 3 years ago, still getting comments lol
me
me
Right here and it fucking hurts
Me
Me bois
It’s tiring hopping everywhere and having to stand on one foot
Same way to walk😅😅🤣🤣
yesss and then your other knee hurts from standing on one foot constantly
True it’s really tiring, if I try to walk it hurts so bad hope everyone with a hurt foot gets better
You shouldn’t baby your foot by not walking on it so you shouldn’t be jumping everywhere,just try to walk,like I just rolled my ankle yesterday and it hurts to walk but I still try to even if I’m in pain
Ikr
When you're on the job and you miss a step and sprain your ankle and now you're here 😅
i was just tryna walk down the stairs and life hit me outta nowhere💀
This is hilarious
Literally happened to me today
Me: sprained ankle
Also me: keeps walking although in pain
Friend: bro you good?
Me: yes I'm good I think Call a doctor
That's me
Samrocket132 Fitsjerols my ankle is a third degree sprain and it hurts my heel when I try to walk I wanted to know if it was normal
I got a sprained ankle but I didn’t hear a pop, though it stills hurt a lot anyways. I’m not used to this stuff because I never got a sprained ankle in my life. Though I have rolled my ankle a couple of times, it never got serious, until my stupid brain decided to bop to music while also have poles near me, resulting to me rolling my ankle and hitting the wall next to me. Yes..... *very fun*
I'm either crawling on the floor, hopping like a bunny, or walking super ultra slow like a snail get to places or walking like
Edit:Thanks for the likes! I'm all better now btw. (Took me like a week to heal, can't really remember) Hope you get better as well!!
Edit 2: I got better by actually trying to walk on the sprained foot since I have school and have no choice but to walk around. I guess it like makes the foot exercise and helps it heal faster.
Omg SAME😂
legit.... just went over on my ankle and trying to take a step is like ridiculously slow
lol!
Samee
ItsFuriousFireball im hopping on my left feet
i’m just hopping everywhere lmao
eloise amy same :)
How did u heal
hello from me , I don’t know if your speaking about me , but I can walk now ! I’m so glad . The pain was unbearable but I’m completely fine ! I went to the hospital a month ago and they gave me crutches and just said it was a sprained ankle. They told me to do wait around 2 weeks and it will start getting better , and it did ! Worth the wait :)
aaliyahvuu I sprained my ankle and I am walking in crutches hopefully I get better
Koky beast yes you will
I have a sprained ankle and my parents keep calling me lazy and “sorry” When I physically can NOT walk without it hurting, they don’t understand it hurts soo bad.
I know how you feel. It is tiring to hear that and it makes you feel even worse. Don't listen to them
Exactly
umm did you show them your purple ankle 😂
I think your parents know your pain guaranteed they’ve sprained an ankle before
Ryn Welch not all sprains have bruises
Anyone whos watching this with a sprained ankle? I mean me 😓
Me too
I sprained my ankle trying to do a layup in basketball and my family said " Would you like some cheese with that whine" My ankle was swollen and purple
THANK YOU omg bc i was just about to cry! Sprained my ankle 6 days ago in practice and im still on crutches and idk when im gonna be able to play volleyball again 😢 probably not soon..
So this comforted me because now im more comfortable with putting some weight on my ankle.
R u good now
Thanks Doc!
Who else is jumping on left foot trying to do stuff and not having fun?....just me?.....ok....
I think I sprained my ankle, in P.E we had to run 8 laps and while I was running I stepped wrong, when I walk my foot really hurts
Oreo Kat does it still hurt? And when you rolled it, was there a loud popping noise with it? With me, I knew immediately I had hurt it because of the noise and intense pain after the adrenaline disappeared
rawryTHEaguacate how long were you out for?
rawryTHEaguacate what does the popping noise mean
I got a mild sprain on my left ankle a few days ago in P.E. (I was doing high rope jumps and my foot got caught on the rope lmao). I hope it heals quickly bc I'm not tryna go to finals with a sprained ankle 😔
Holy shit this guy blinks a lot
Edit: I counted 89 times in the whole video
Oh shit, this guy counts blinking just like counting a bag of coins. Srry
All I did was walk, stepped wrong and it twisted and sprained. I nearly dislocated it.
I think my sprain isn’t too bad. The first day I couldn’t walk I had a really bad limp and it took forever to move a few feet. Today is the second day and after putting ice on it and keeping it elevated or the most part. When I first get up it hurts but after moving around I still have a limp but I can walk better not perfect but for day 2 I think that a good sign. Swelling went down but it is still swollen and I don’t have full movement. I have 5 days to heal up then it’s back to work.
Update. My ankle was broken 😆 fml ankle fracture distal fibula!
So if your shit hurts go to the doctor. I walked around and waited a week before I found out I have a fractured bone!
@@Rude420Boi Dammit man, hope you get better soon.
When my ankle got sprained all told me not to see the doctor because it can be rarely a fracture but i insisted on seeing the doctor, they were right but i had to be sure.
Mahmoud Bakr yeah don’t listen to what people say better to go find out. And thank you! You too man get well I hope for speedy recovery for you. Me too lol it sucks
I sprained my ankle on the last step and I got a tennis ball size swell going. Couldnt walk for 6 days more than 5 feet. Then I went to work next week. I walked on it while it was still purple and green brused. Bearable but still painful and would barely fit in my shoe. Its still slightly deformed 6 months later. Turns out it may have been broken lmao. It healed all wrong and I had no money for surgery.
@@Rude420Boi did you have to get a scan for them to actually see it? Or was it easy to identify on X-ray?
What happens when you constantly walk on a sprained ankle that hurts badly?
What will happen when you pull on both sides on a damaged wire with force? If walking hurts alot, start with rest + mobility excersize
it gets worse...
@ATF I sprained my ankle 6 weeks ago. After a little bit more than 4 weeks i started walking without crutches. But now even after 6 weeks it is swollen and hurts a bit when i walk too much.. one day i walked 9 km, i just havent realised that i did walk so much cause it didn't hurt really. But might i have overused it and now it will never heal?
@@angawer Don't worry. Your foot will heal the cause of the swelling you are experiencing depends on the kind of sprain you had. If you tore a ligament then it's probably the healing that makes it swell. As long as it doesn't turn blue your foot will heal. If it starts bruising then I would advise you to go and see a doctor. My guess as I don't know your injury is that the foot is somewhat inflamed from the overuse but will heal.
The_devils wingz :l It’s been a month I’m walking while it hurts, stop being so negative..
The weird thing is I remember rolling my ankle while jogging on an uneven surface but it didn't hurt at all until the morning after now it's difficult to walk on but no swelling. I really hate not being able to exercise
Exact same thing happened to me a few days ago. A few days later the pain appeared in the morning. Luckily I can walk on it in my soft old sneakers. I’m following the basic steps to heal a mild sprain discussed in these u tube segments. Tomorrow I’m getting an ankle brace at the drug store. In my experience it takes about 2 weeks to heal. by the way, don’t ever jog on old sneakers. That’s how I badly herniated a disk on L4-5 ultimately requiring back decompression surgery. I was told that joggers should change their sneakers every 4 months. Good luck.
same 💔
Recovery time mate?
@@emangla5601 one week if you walk, 2 weeks if you rest,
Yall I'm gonna go somewhere on Saturday and I dont wanna cancel because of my stupidity. I was just walking and I sprained my ankle.
I got a sprained ankle from a volleyball scrimmage against another age groups of our clubs. It wasnt even a real game! 🤦♀️
I rolled both my ankles and I don’t know what to do I had to crawl up the stairs to my apartment
I hope you're OK now
I think I sprained them both at practice but my mum says I'm fine, I've sprained it before and it hurts more than it did then
That sounds awful lol how did u heal
Oh sorry to hear I can’t imagine how hard it is for you 😔 Its even hard for me when only sprained my one ankle. It has been 2 weeks now still has bruise and painful to walk. I’m starting to get frustrated and impatient
I sprained my ankle when I slipped on ice a few weeks ago. I’ve been on worker’s comp and have been on medical leave from my FD for a while now. I’m really hoping it heals faster but it just isn’t. I’ve seen multiple doctors, including a specialist, but all I can do is wait. It sucks
I sprained my ankle about 9 months ago. I used some medicine. Spray and pills. But my ankle is still a bit swollen and different from the ankle of the other foot. Do you think my ankle will ever be the same as before? What do you suggest I do?
I went to go get my drink on the stairs but there was a spider so I jumped down and you know my ankle didn't like it
I spraiend my leg in soccer tryouts and now i might miss the track meet and soccor when i first spraiend it i was crawling now im walking in a bit pain sometimes alot my leg is wraped but sometimes i use a brace it feels weird and hurts
In the beginning I saw the Mount Sinai logo and I thought “AYE My momma works at Mount Sinai West, maybe she knows him” that was my immediate thought process
Who watching this having to hop on one foot
me the two hurts but i still hop on one foot
@@forpurposes3168 haha get better soon
@@timleblanc5114 I'm well now!
@@forpurposes3168 Good
My doctor gave me a compression sock can I apply minimal pressure on it to help heal or would I need a boot for that?
My ankle is swollen but I have to walk on it... it really hurt to walk on it for the first days ( like the 1,2,3, kindaish 4) but I can kinda walk now with barely any pain. I'm scared that I might hurt my foot or already have (I've been walking on it for 2 days counting today). When I just rest my foot it feels like it burns and there is a little bit of pain near my pinky toe down to my ankle. Could someone help..?
I was just in gym today playing basketball 2 against 3 and I threw the ball while I was jumping my ankle then BOOP and I feel ..... but atl least I made the shot right ?
I sprained my foot and i was like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I told my mom I just need to rice it she told me she wasn’t gonna let waste perfectly good rice to just take some ibuprofen i laughed
fightersarehere 😭😂
I didn't have a sprained ankle, i had a small dislocation?
I had no swelling but their was a bump next to the ankle around the same size. I could still walk, but it solved itself after seconds.
I have a question does an ankle make a shit load of popping sounds at once when its sprained?
Will I need crutches if I sprained my ankle to get around?
Ive been to the hospital and had x-rays and my ankle seems to not be broken, however even after 2 days I cant put any weight on it, even with a supportive brace. Any tips or recommendations?
Don't know if I've sprained it or twisted it. I had just entered a shopping centre and because of their super clean shiny floors, I fell, why have them so shiny, I'm sure that would add to them being slippery.
Hobbled back to the car in a LOT of pain, thought the pain would ease but it hasn't, it happened 5 hours ago, I bandaged it up and the pain is around the ankle but mainly running half way up to my knee on the outer side of the leg. Can't walk on it or put any pressure on it without it being really painful.
I didn't think a sprained or twisted ankle would hurt this much. I live by myself with my dog, a Border Collie, a very active dog so have to do everything, no-one here to help, don't know if I'm hobbling around too much?
I twisted my ankle and it has bee. Hurting for a while, I wrapped it in a ace bandage to see if it would help, all it really did was put a little pressure on the ankle. Can you give me advice on what I should do about this?
The most underrated, undertreated injury. R.I.C.E. only works for very, very minor sprain. It does not work for torn ligaments, pulled nerves or tendons. I found heat is the answer and rest are the answer. Average ankle sprain will take a minimum of 3 months to start to regain normacy.
Heat is never the answer because that encourages inflammation. Ice it and stay of it.
My ankil joint no moving to after oprat......piz tall me
I hurt my ankle last week went to the doctor yesterday and my leg was broken and I had a sprained ankle, and I went without anything but like Advil for a week and just hopped on one foot
I fell off my hover board at full speed
I broke a bit of my pinky toe and it still hurts
Thank you
I was paying soccer when sombody kicked me and I twisted my ankle and couldn't walk for three days and my ankle was swollen for a week already is that a sprained ankle?
I sprained my ankle but my mums forcing me to walk to school rip
AnarchyPersonified I mean if you wanna keep a functional foot then go talk to your school nurse and they will probably get you to a Hospital.
What a shitty mom
do u want to go on a jet plane or something? wtf
I just had my second surgery, non weight bearing for 7 weeks
I sprained mine last Halloween and I kept walking even though it hurt like hell but it was worth it for candy
Fatty lol jk
I usually crawl to where ever I wanna go
It's my day eleventh of sprained ankle still feeling pain while walking ND lying on bed.
Any suggestions
I don't have any swelling but its hard to put weight on it and walk normal. What should I do ?
I "sprained" ankle really bad and it lasted for about 3 weeks it hurt really bad
I have experienced a sprain. at the beginning of the injury you suffer sever pain in your ankle with difficulty or inability to walk,but a few days after the pain reduces and you can walk again but with no overuse or pressure on your injured ankle this is only in the case of simple sprains that how my experience went on.
i fell off my own house porch tonight...and now we are here
it hurt when i put a weight on my heel, but when i put my weight in the front almost like tiptoe but heels not lifted up... its not hurt at all
diraya akbar was it fractured or anything
Same
Thats the exact opposite for me
i hurt my ankle but i don't know if its sprained and it hurts to walk on it
I went to urgent care with a sprained ankle and he told me to stop icing it and just walk. My paint keeps getting worse and I’m afraid I’m going to injure myself more if I keep walking, but he told me it won’t get better if I don’t walk on it. I don’t really know what to do.
Lol drop while playing iced and played on the bad leg now I'm pained up struggling to walk
I sprained my ankle 6 weeks ago. After a little bit more than 4 weeks i started walking without crutches. But now even after 6 weeks it is swollen and hurts a bit when i walk too much.. one day i walked 9 km, i just havent realised that i did walk so much cause it didn't hurt really. But might i have overused it and now it will never heal?
Hope you're feeling better. How is it feeling now?
We’re all here for a reason. Pain.
I sprained my ankle yesterday and was bed ridden all day but I went through the pain today this morning and now I can walk on it with a limp at least. It will get better day by day if I keep doing activities.
My ankle hurts but it's not swollen. More of an annoying pain. I can still walk and even put weight on it, just feels off.
Why do I have a cast on my sprained ankle?
Twisted ankle 20 days ago and still some swelling with no pain... Heat or ice is best for recovery?
Don't apply ice too much.. it shd only be applied when within 24 hrs of injury.. if ur ligament is not broken but just stretched.. after one month from ur injury..u can put ur leg in hot water for 10-15 mins..it really helps and lessen the swelling.
0:50 anyone have a time refrence of how long for?
Hii i wanted to know i had a foot sprain but still my foot's swelling is not getting cure my foot sprain has become better but there is a swelling over my ankle
I hop form place to place for 2 days and third day I go back n play soccer and it hurt like hell week later I play as if nothing hurt but shit hurt like hell
I’m watching this, because I’m faking a sprained ankle so I don’t gotta do my gym class..
I need help, I sprain it but walked on it for 4 weeks, I don't know if I should see a doctor or not.
I am so confused I have an ankle sprain but my doctor told me to walk on my sprained ankle even tho I can’t walk at all
I sprained my ankle, went to the hospital four hours later and went to work just to get sent home lol
I just walked around with it and it got better
dam twisted mine yesterday taking my friends mom to the hospital , dam thing hurts like hell
u good now?
@@joshwool8551 yeah . it was a pretty serious one though! it is still swollen a little . thanks for asking.
I walked just after my injury but now I'm crawling 😭😭😭😭
Bro I was playing basketball and I tried to save the ball it hurt so bad and I could not move it cause I was in so much pain and my gym teacher didn’t do anything
I am a teacher and sprained my ankle a year ago while coming down the stairs. Xray showed no fracture but MRI showed inflammatory synovitis with mild ankle joint effusion. I had no option to quit the job at that time, so I took no rest and kept working all days. I used to get cramps and pain while standing, walking, climbing stairs and swelling by the end of the day. The injury became more serious and I had to quit the job. It's been almost 2 months now I have been resting at home. But still I can't walk properly and my ankle shows stiffness, redness, swelling and burning pain. I can climb the stairs but can't go down the stairs easily. It really hurts. I feel hopeless and helpless thinking that my ankle has been permanently damaged. Not understanding what to do.... totally fed up now.☹️😫
also a teacher and going through the same thing. i want to call in and recover but their learning must continue onwards. are you doing better?
Why didn’t you use cruches ?
I'm pretty sure I fractured my ankle. How long can I wait before going to the doctor?
Go as soon as possible and get X-rays to confirm if it is broken or not
Sprained mine last week off a trampoline. I slipped and my friend accidentally landed on it. Foot was all black and blue and swollen all to hell. I was pretty sure I fractured it but the xrays came back fine, just a bad sprain 😅 hope you all recover soon, this sucks
I hope you're OK now
@@FreeggNinja3618 getting better, I can walk at least just small pain. Thanks!
@@IbanezPlayer124 that's great to hear, you're welcome!
Aye same, I had it when bouncing on a trampoline.
@@mid9167 oof, hope you recover soon! I recovered after 3 weeks but it was a loooooong 3 weeks
Me laying on the floor crying watching this video and begging my mum to take me to the doctors be like: 😔😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😬😬😬😬😭😢😢😞😢😣😣😣😠😠😠😠😢😢😭😭😖😖😖😤
I tripped on air and my ankle bent 90 degrees.
It didn't hurt when it got sprained. I was walking back home from the bus stop and it was a 10 minute walk. I just twist my ankle about and exersise it. It didn't hurt.
I got home and it was starti g to hurt a lil.
I was on the toilet for 5 mins and was getting up. My ankle was in pain.
I can not describe the pain I felt getting up. I had to get up, pull my pants up, wash my hands, and run back to my room and lay on the bed. All that time, i was in pain.
I was so curious as to why the pain didn't come until like half an hour after the incident.
The pain keeps on getting worse.
It hurts way more now than when i first felt the pain. It hurts just to move my foot.
Before I could walk but I had to be careful where I place my foot and what angle to place it.
Now it just hurts to lift it off the ground...
Ohh shit. What happened next? How long did it take you to walk again?
@@leifmathieutobias4612 being a soccer player i can relate it usually takes 4-5 days for an athelete to walk again normally
It's the response from vagus nerve, which tells your body to not move the injured part more
I had a similar incident I sprained my ankle walked off that day and felt a lot more dizzy and painful at night when I tried to walk in order to get water
@@leifmathieutobias4612 i spent a week with foot elavated. Eventually, it healed.
I sprained my ankle on my left foot I accidentally skip a step on my stairs this morning and I went to the ER and everything even have crutches with me if I need them
I'm having a hard time using them or trying to walk I rather just hop every where lol
Just done my left my god it's painful like a constant throbbing
@@bowjana8128 so sorry to hear that :( I know it's the worst feeling ever
I'm already trying to walk each day the swelling goes down it's all about icing it and resting on it
So I was tubing and hit a wave and the tube came up and my ankle folded up under me when we came down I let go cuz it hurts so bad and they took me back to the beach and my ankle is swollen right beside my ankle bone really bad I can't put no weight on it and I've been crawling around and wiggling and jumping on one leg so much that my other ankle has started to hurt and if you took the the time to read this does anybody have any advice as to how to make it stop hurting? This is after I had felling forward on the rope, caught my neck, fell out of a 2 person tube and was drugging the water and have marked on my side and had been tubing all day.
R u ok now
Yeah right, actually it depends on who you are it is your body type. I was playing soccer and I did a bicycle kick. I landed weirdly on my right foot. The nurse for my team said it was a grade 3 and I have to rest for at least 6 weeks. I went home and woke up the next day and it was completely fine.
I went down to play and nothing happened. And if you think something happened in the long run it didn’t because that happened 6 months ago
i sprained my ankle dancing and we have to perform in 3 days kms
U had the second one he said and they gave me nothing for it they sent me home walking
I was playing basketball in pe when I jumped up for a rebound I landed on it sideways and idk if i sprained it or what but my dad says I wouldn’t be able to walk on it but I gotta go hit baseballs today 😢 it’s gonna hurt so bad
It's probably sprain, you can walk on a sprain depending on the severity, but it's not a good idea to. It's important to stay off it and get as much rest as possible
why am i here lol my ankle BROKE😂😂
guys pls tell me if this is wrong! so some random man massaged my sprained ankle and then they FORCED me to walk and said that my bone was back in place, it hurts so bad, and its getting more ingured (to me) and its getting purple im worried, they force me to clean etc and it hurts so bad.. they're like saying im dramatic when it rlly hurts so much!
tell me if its ok or am I exgerating
:(
I don’t think you are exaggerating, that’s definitely a severe injury and issue
Can someone answer my question?
So it has been 4 days since I "sprained" my ankle and I think I can walk on it it only hurts a little bit when I walk so I wanna know if its ok to walk yet?
It seems conflicted. Depends on what kind of injury you had, too (grade of sprain, high or low ankle). Some resources say after 1 week you can start to weight bear, others say as soon as you can tolerate it. It's best with a brace or bandage of some sort for stability if it's more severe.
what happens if your ankle hurts and your pinky toe hurts as well?
can you say 'ouch'?
@@bcmac4641 ouch
Sprained mines a week before I go to Cali 🤦🏽♂️
I was playing basketball and I went for a layup and landed on my ankle, it hurted really bad at the time. I still can't put any weight on it or walk on it.. should I see a doctor
Anthvny Damn bro i was also playing basketball but i ran for that ball and landed on my ankle too
But wait a couple days before seeing a doctor but if the pain is unbearable then definitely go see one
Anthvny depends. This happened to me. It was just a grade 3 ankle sprain and it took 12 weeks to heal. I would go if it’s very swollen and you can’t move it at all.
Walk?, I sprained my ankle a kilometer from my house and was running home but it did hurt.
Who is watching this WITHOUT a sprained ankle?
My ankle has a grade two sprain not sure what to do with it all I can do is elevate my foot and put ice on it
you could stretch it that’s helps me a lot to start walking again
I came back to the doctor the next day and they said it’s broken too
Hey
Just got to LA, checking in to my hotel and I sprained my ankle. Heard it pop. Instantly started swelling.. was able to walk to my room. Just kept cold pack on it for a few hours and elevated it. Swelling went down a lot first hours. Some vacation. Can't even be a tourist now
I badly sprained my foot a week ago
