went to the park today with the kids partner was having a race with them and he feel down a little hole and landed funny on his foot. He managed to walk home but it’s very swollen and now he can’t weight bare. I’ll upload a pic. I think he needs an xray he’s very stubborn and thinks it will be fine tomorrow. He literally can’t weight bare.

do sprains swell like a golf ball?

Could be a bad sprain and ligament damage. If it was a break I very much doubt he'd have been able to walk on it to get home. I'd ice and elevate and see how it is the morning.

@hourspassed thanks for your advice we will see how he goes

When I tore the ligaments in my ankle it looked like I had a tennis ball attached to my ankle. When I broke my ankle it was completely out of place.
i would recommend an x-ray though and getting appropriate support for it either way.
