A few days ago I twisted my ankle. No biggie lol but over the past couple days my ankle has gotten worse and not even an ankle brace is helping. If it isn’t better by Saturday imma be going to the hospital.

Is it swollen, spongey to touch? As Sylvi states, best not to leave go to the doctors to treat asap. Good luck.

It only hurts every once in a while. For all I know it could just be a flare up.

Whenever I injure myself like that, my RA goes into overdrive making the injury seem worse than it is. I’m not sure why, but that’s how initially showed itself—i injured my foot by dropping something on it, iced it for a minute and kept on with my day. By the end of the week, I thought it was broken and the other foot too! Crazy stuff. I hope yours calms down before you have an ER visit.

Is it swollen Cortney? If it is you do need to see someone but until you can try using a cold compress. A bag of frozen peas (unopened) works well but otherwise ice wrapped in a tea towel applied round the ankle. Rest it up as much as you can & try not to weight bear on it.

How are things otherwise?

It’s not swollen. And things have been great. We are preparing for me to move out
