I fell off my scooter..?


and like flipped over it and hit the inside of my right lower leg, my
shoulder, scraped my left leg, and worst of all, after falling off the scooter, the scooter flipped and jabbed into my left ankle and made it bleed some. under that spot, theres is a REALLY bad bruise, and its gtting bigger. it hurts really bad to walk on it. when i turn it to the left, it feels like it has to crack, but it doesnt. do you think my ankle is broken? or a bruised bone, or what?Help!! The most useful advice will most likeley get best answer. Thanks!!

and, my shoulder and right leg are just minor little scrapes tht just can put neosporin on.

it doesnt sound broken and since you didnt actually twist it it doenst seem sprained or twisted either. but just to be sure that you didnt crush the bone cause of the impact with the scooter you should get into the doctor within the next few days just in case. until then you can keep it wrapped and ice it at night. also keep it elevated if it starts to swell up... if it hurts to walk on it, then you could possibly use crutches but i dont reccomend it.
for the minor scrapes and cuts, neosporin with a bandade should do the trick. :]
goodluck and sorry bout the accidentt

You are most likely suffering form soft-tissue injury to the tendons and ligaments of the ankle. As a motocross rider for over 20 years, I have had many such injuries. Through the years I have been able to somewhat accurately diagnose my own injuries. Of course, I am wrong sometimes too. If you have fractured or broken you ankle, and it goes undiagnosed, it could lead to problems down the road. I'd have a doctor look at it.
