Question:
yesterday i was in the pool in the morning and when i came out it felt weak like it was going to collapse right under me. i don't think i twisted it in the pool, if i did i didnt feel it. so my mom said to put my ankle support on(i have had previous sprains) so i did...this morning when i woke up it hurt to put weight on it, but there is no bruising or swelling, so whats wrong with my ankle, should i go to the ER or to my doctor?

Answers:
I have the same thing, although my case is extreme. It sounds like you may have ankle instability. It occurs when your ankle doesn't heal completely from sprains. Your best bet is to go to your doctor. The ER really can't do much for you. They will probably try some physical therapy to strengthen the muscles in your ankle so they don't give out as easily. They may also suggest cutting back on your activities until it heals. I wish you the best of luck.

Go to the doctor unless its REALLY severe... Doctors can usually tell. Ask for an emergency appointment, usually they can get you in practically right away.
it could be broken because sometimes when things get broken they dont even swell.. but then again it could a sprain or a really bad bruise. so i woild go talk with your doctor and see what he says
Yes you should get it looked at but the ER would only really be right if you had done something to it. The doctor should be able to get to the bottom of it maby with tests or something- good luck!
um well yes this might be a sign that the muscles around your ankle are not strong enough to support your body go to your doctor or try to walk on it get the muscles stronger!
Doctors- in my town though the doctors suck! This old lady broke her hip REALLY bad and then the doctors said that it wasn't hurt at all and then she went to Sioux Falls and they said that it was broken and she needed surgery. So if they say nothing's wrong try to get a second opinion.
I would wait and just RICE it and see the dr tomorrow. Also, how old are you? If it hurts a lot you could take Tylenol or Advil depending on your age.
