How To Treat A Stretched Lateral Ankle Ligament?
A week ago my friend sat on my foot in class and he was bouncing on it and my whole leg was straight and i think i stretched a lateral ankle ligament. I wish i could get out of gym to orrow but my gym teacher is really strict and hates when kids bring excuses to gym class. Tomorrow is our gym fitness test too and i cant run with my hurt ankle and my gym teacher doesnt understand anything, he is very strict and plays favorites (im not even near being one of his favorites, he hated my sisters and hates me too) please tell me what should i do. Im scared to go to med express but if i dont have a doctors note then i will get yelled at tomorrow

Hi You feel that you have injured your lateral ligament in the ankle and are afraid to attend gym tomorrow. My advice is - use a crepe bandage and pain killers and see how you feel. If you feel better then go for gym , else go to a doctor for further assessment.
