Ankle sprain with swelling on both sides
I fell while camping an hour from home and ended up at urgent care. It swelled up to baseball size in under 5 minutes. The first picture is a bad angle but taken that night. The urgent care said it’s not broken but I can’t put any weight on it so I have a boot and crutches. The next day the baseball swelling is a little better but the inner ankle area is shiny and puffy and across the top of the foot as well. Those are the pics 2 and 3.
Has anyone had a sprain behave like this? The urgent care didn’t say much about timeline or severity and dr google is a bit on the hysterical side. How long does it typically take to get off crutches from this kind of thing? I have kids home for summer and I’m slightly despairing trying to work out a plan for keeping all of us sane.
