text: ankle injury question? i was playing soccer this afternoon with my kids and somehow twisted my ankle. it immediately got swollen just in one spot (not my whole ankle). i can walk on it and it doesn't really hurt that bad. i put ice on it. it's swollen like half the size of a golf ball. is it possible to have a fracture even though i can walk on it and it's not very painful? hate to go to the emergency room if it's not necessary - have 2 young kids at home and husband is working. thanks. i have played sports all my life and a rolled ankle is nothing new...just ice it 20 min on 20 min off and you will be fine....rice rest, ice, compression and evelvation you will be fine!
