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).
Go to the doctor, get it looked at and get crutches
it should be elevated and iced continuously. if it doesn’t improve somewhat in 24hrs, go to urgent care/ED because it may be broken.
it should also be wrapped and braced.
DO NOT walk on it or put any weight on it.
Edit: even if you didn’t break it, you have severely sprained it, and very likely tore some ligaments. You will need crutches for at least two weeks. Put as a little weight on it as possible during recovery or it will take longer to recover. Ibuprofen for the swelling, keep it wrapped and braced, and ice it when you’re not on it while keeping it elevated.
Your s/o doesn’t sound like a fit to take care of you right now, can you stay elsewhere?
I mildly rolled my ankle getting off the toilet Wednesday morning and I’m just now putting my full weight on it (old people problems amirite?). You sound like an immediate hospital visit bro.
Unrelated your s/o could stand to have more patience for you, unless you being a jackass resulted in your injury. Otherwise it might be time to evaluate your relationship. How someone treats you while your sick, injured or incapacitated in any other form, gives great insight into the quality of your bond.
You are right about seeing the insight, it’s happened multiple occasions when I get sick. She has a lot of diagnosed mental health issues. Sticking with it for the children.
As a child of divorced parents, don’t stick with it for the kids. You can separate and still be civil to each other and cooperatively raise children. It’s better for them, and better for you. Sure, it sucked when my parents split, they fought real bad some times, but not nearly as bad as when they were together. I got a real swell stepdad out of it, and I learned what real, loving, cooperative adults look like. I also got to see how determined and dedicated my father was.
Every situation is different though, but that is my expericence.
Black and blue and screaming when you put weight on it is NOT a good sign. Go to a doctor asap
