Sounds as if this may be more than a sprain. Get medical attention.

The best thing is to get it looked at by a specialist. They will want you to have an X-Ray making sure everything is ok. Aspx.

1 Go to the hospital if it's still swollen and hurts a lot then it's not a sprain. It's either broken or torn.

See a doctor.

3 MDs recommend R.I.C.E. (Rest, Icing, Compression, Elevation) for sprains and strains not requiring surgery. Rest means not to perform any movements which cause pain. Pain indicates you are re-injuring the area.

Icing stops the pain and is a vaso-constrictor stopping fluid from accumulating around the injury. This fluid presents as swelling and is a major secondary cause of the inflammation. Compression also stops the fluid from accumulating.

Elevation is to keep gravity from allowing the fluids to accumulate. When possible, keep the injury as close to the heart level as possible, such as reclining. The easiest way to accomplish this is with a quality ice compression ankle wrap such as the wrap made by Cold One.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
