Question:
Answers:
You need to get xrays and possibly a cat scan. I did the same thing in dance a week ago and rolled over on my ankle. Never got xrays or anything. Turns out it was actually a fracture now I have to have a boot for a month. I walked for a week on a cracked ankle the doctor said any more and it would have broke and I would have had to have surgery. Yes it may just be a sprain but seriously get xrays...and soon. Sometimes a sprain can be worse because it will never completely heal. Good luck! Hope it's nothing too serious:)
Sprains tend to be worse.The ligaments and tendons can get stretched or torn. Bone will fuse. Yes you should see a doctor and not play soccer as you could injure it worse and end up not being able to play any sports for some time. Your ankle has to carry you, take care of it.
Okay it would not be the greatest idea to play soccer with it tonight. If it is sprained it could mean a torn ligament which further injury could further separate the ligament, which would require surgery. A hairline fracture could be increased by further injury and cause the bones to shift causing extreme pain and discomfort.
All of this can be avoided by Xrays, please miss one practice for xrays, instead of a whole season plus other fun events for surgery.
