Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Sprain vs. Fracture: The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor. He/she will likely take x-rays and you will know. It's important so that you ankle does not heal improperly, which can cause more issues later on. Peace and good health.
