A member asked:
I was skipping steps seven steps at a time before i landed on my ankle wrong. it's swelled up pretty badly. i was walking 5 days later what happened?

Ankle: Skipping steps should be avoided. Many things could happen such as sprain, strain, dislocation, rupture and tendonitis. You don't mention if it is still swollen. If it is get it checked.

Ankle sprain: If you landed wrong on your ankle and it became swollen you may have an ankle sprain or an ankle fracture. You need to be evaluated by a podiatrist, orthopedist or sports medicine physician to make certain you are not walking around on an injury that needs treatment. Untreated injuries can lead to worse problems down the road.
