I was doing some squats at the gym and in between reps I was getting in some standing rows with dumbbells. On the last rep I sidestepped without looking and slipped over the weight, falling until my leg and ankle were about ninety degrees or each other. Adrenaline still rushing I did a few more squats and it was mostly numb, but soon after the pain started to set in. I limped home, iced it, put some pillows under it and went to bed.
Today it looks like I've got a golf ball under my skin. I can rotate my foot but it does cause a sharp pain. Walking is difficult though I can manage it and the area is pretty bruised.
As I've never really hurt my ankle before, I don't know if this is symptomatic of a bad sprain or something worse (which I doubt, since I at least CAN move it in some directions). Any advice for things to look for or tips for quick recovery?
