Ankle sprain: My 16 year-old daughter was standing on her bed adjusting a push-in that held a poster in place last night when she fell off. She claims to have injured the outside of her right ankle at the base near the top of the foot. I inspected it. No discoloration, swelling, bruising, inflammation or instability was found. I had her ice it and gave her two Motrin to get her through the night. She appeared to sleep well in spite of it. This morning she was hopping around on the ankle, claiming she couldn't put weight on it. I told her to stay in bed and elevate the ankle, and continue to ice it. I also told her she needs to try to move her ankle as it could be a mild sprain and just needs to be worked out. I inspected the ankle again, and there was no swelling, discoloration, bruising, inflammation or instability present.
She insists that she has fractured it, and wants to argue with me about getting it x-rayed.
So, I need your advice as to whether or not we need to go this far with it or not. I think rest, ice and stretching are going to be the antidote.
Please advice
