e, thanks for the advice, I'll definitely check it out. I don't see any logic in doing that damn rehab either, not after being stuck at my desk for two weeks straight, basically just walking on stilts between my room and the bathroom, and following every single instruction they gave me only to end up right back where I started two weeks ago... honestly, those guys at the ER totally botched it, as usual. We'll just have to see what happens... but thanks for the tip, I'll be 😬

Anyone out there? 🤔

look, here’s the deal ☕ .... about two weeks ago I had this little mishap where I stepped wrong into a pothole on the street and twisted my ankle. I went to the ER and they scanned the joint, but they didn't give me anything except ice packs and told me to rest for a week since apparently nothing was broken. So, I rested for maybe two days—everything was fine at first—but... since I'm a full-time college student and I have to show up for classes this week, I started walking again even though my ankle is still swollen. Even after hitting the ER twice in a single day, they didn't give me any meds or put me in a brace or anything. After two weeks of icing it and trying my absolute best to stay off it, the swelling hasn't budged and it still hurts like hell 😕 🤷 so... here is what I'm wondering... what am I supposed to do? Should I keep resting? Should I go see my primary care doctor, and if I do, what kind of referral should I ask for? And how am I even supposed to treat this joint until then...? Because honestly, I'm just lost at this point. Thanks in advance for any advice or help 🙂 🙂
