Last night (Saturday night) my friends and I were playing a game at the park (just like hide&go seek tag). The person it found me and I started running I ran up two stairs and at the top was a lot of rubber and a railroad tie I slipped on the Rubber and my right ankle went sideways slamming against the railroad tie. Now I am having pain from my right foot to my knee and sometimes further up when walking and from my right foot to my hip when laying down. What could this be? (What could I have done to it?) Do I need to go to the emergency room? (I want to because it hurts soooo bad)

Hi there and thanks so much for posting this question For your descritpion you have experienced a common ankle sprain. There are several ankle sprains depending on their degree of severity. If you are able to put weight on and walk means may not be that serious although the pain is telling you that needs some treatment like ice rest is it swollen? In any case the treatment for swollen ankles is to rest it to apply ice to elevate it higher than the hip and see if the symptoms improve once that the symptoms improve you need to do physical therapy or specicif exercises that will help the soft tissue to get strong again I have several exercises in my youtube channel email me and I will refer you some Hope youa re feeling better thanks!
