A member asked:

I was doing a cartwheel and i landed on my ankle wrong and now it has been hurting alot. what could be wrong?

Sprain: It is most likely a sprain but it sounds as though you need to get an x-ray to rule out a fracture. Ice on the painful area and a compression bandage like an Ace will help in the meantime.
