When would you get this checked?

Today I went over on my ankle, very painful and when I looked at my shoe I could see dirt on the top where it had touched the ground. I have had to hobble all day as it’s very painful to put my full weight on it. There is a little swelling on the side of the foot and it’s starting to bruise. Normally when I’ve twisted my ankle it hurts for a short time and then is fine, I’ve not had it look like this before. Do you think it warrants a visit to minor injuries or leave it a couple of days and see how it goes?

Ice it, elevate it and take Ibuprofen. See how it goes, to be honest it doesn’t sound too bad.

No I would just R.I.C.E. And take some painkillers!

If you'd broke it, you'd know. You'd really know.

I did the same a few years ago. I was limping and in pain for a couple of weeks. I just did rice. No need to get it checked out.

Thanks for the opinions. I will see how it goes.
