Last night I fell down a flight of stairs and rolled my ankle bad. It’s black and blue and swollen but my s/o has no sympathy for me already. In context I only ask her to help me to the bathroom. Besides crawling, which I do now, should I duke it out more? I just don’t understand, I can’t physically put weight on it(without involuntarily screaming).

    I did this once, rolled over and to the side in one motion. Worst sprain of my life, including the time I took a jumper and landed my full weight on my ankle. It was the only time I had to stop whatever it was I was doing and get home asap. The drive back wasn’t bad but the next morning I got out of bed I couldn’t put pressure on my ankle at all. Swelled to the size of my calves and looked bruised and nasty. Took me out for a month and even so, I was put on crutches, but no cast. Get it looked at. Not all sprains are the same.
