Don't want to be that poster but is this an a and e job?

She's fallen and her legs all swollen. She's weight baring but she's limping and she's crying intermittently.

It worries me that you have to ask tbh, it looks obviously broken.

Hope your dd is okay.

And the "drunk walk" would tie in to ligaments, could be instability.

I'm asking because I've never dealt with this and I needed some advice. Believe me 4 minutes later I'm on my way to a and e

It looks really swollen to me, hopefully you won't have a long wait at a &e

Glad you’re taking her. Definitely swollen and looks bent. Hopefully shes not in too much pain.

Oof poor thing, it looks very swollen! Hope you don't have to wait too long and they can help asap.

Oh ouch! That doesn’t look quite right to me, glad you’re taking her to get it looked at.
I’m very much an “is your leg falling off? No? Then you’re fine!” mum but that does need looking at.
take some painkillers, some water and maybe something to eat - you might be there a while!

I know your on way to A&E but check the wait times first. Ideally you'd go up if you thought it was a break or soft tissue damage but I don't cope with hours in A&E. If it was over 4 hours wait I'd put the bed then do minors in the morning

Yeah I'd go get it checked out.

More than likely ligament or soft tissue injury but worth a look

Yes I'd take to a&e. Take drinks & food and maybe a blanket? Hope you don't have too long a wait to be seen 💐

Glad you've taken her

Let us know how she gets on

Hope she's ok. Keep us updated. Does look very different to the other

Hope she's ok. I would def go toA&E with that

Poor love. Keep us updated OP hope she's okay!

Hope she's ok.

She has a torn ligament. She's exhausted and I am too. Though 4 hours in a and e isn't bad going.

Glad to hear not broken, OP! Hope you and she can get some rest now.

That's great news - well better than broken. I was going to say yes as well. I hope you've managed some rest!

I'm guessing schools out 😉

Little poppet

Hope she feels better soon

It wasn't broken, oh keyboard warrior doctor. 🙄

Well done OP. Hope it heals quickly.

@Girliefriendlikespuppies It worries me that you have to ask tbh, it looks obviously broken

It would really worry me if you were a medical professional as it doesn’t look ‘obviously broken’ whatsoever. It’s a job for minor injuries walk in.

This.

Our minor injuries clinic is 45 mins away vs 20 for A&E, but also all done within an hour whereas A&E is at least 6 hours.

Good news @sugaryouth1

Glad you went, you'd have only been worrying
