I went to walk my cousins dogs, put them back in her place, and was leaving. She lives 3 sets of stairs up.
I was walking down and slid, they are this ceramic, cement type material, guess they were wet, and I missed a few steps.
I landed on my ankle, and twisted the wrong way. I got up and walk off, so I highly doubt it is broken. But hours later it's rather sore, I wont be taking them far for their afternoon walk, just enough to go to the bathroom.
It's more in my toes, if I bend them it radiates up my foot, or if I step down the wrong way.

OUCH!! I do hope that you didn't sprain your ankle. Bruising will be bad enough.
A few years ago I was walking out my next door neighbors front door and their tile steps were wet. I ended up slipping and landed right on my butt! I had a huge purple bruise with a knot under it for weeks.

it is probably just a bit sore from the impact. i also have pain in my foot from this big ball that is on the side of it. i think that we should both go get it looked at, if it's not better. sorry to hear you fell, btw.

dear moongypsy you do need to take that to your doctor as it sounds like a blood blister which might have to be drained or it willjust geep being really painful.

You've probably sprained or at least bruised something. But if it continues to hurt after a few days, you might want to have it looked at by a doctor.

hi Ricki remember the slogan RICE for a sprained ankle rest , ice to it ,compress, and lastly elevate. You need to keep your foot up, put Ice in a thick wash cloth and hold it to your ankle for a few minutes every few hours, and wrap some elastic bandage around it til the pain and swelling are gone. Hope it clears up in a few days but you do need to keep off it and using it a lot makes it worse and it will take longer to heal.

Probably just sore from the impact, I would just try icing the foot and keeping it elevated for awhile and try not using it. I hope it heals up soon for you.

Seriously I can relate myself to this incident. I study in a collage where my classroom is on the 3rd floor. I was walking down the stairs when a fried of mine called out my name. Instead of looking at the way I was walking I looked up to see who was calling me. My leg slipped and I sprained my ankle in a similar way to yours. I felt ok at that moment but at the end of the day it was swollen. It took a whole day of bed rest before I could start walking again.

hi ricki sounds like a mild sprain an you need to remember rice rest ,ice, elevate, and compress with elastic bandage and stay off it as much as y ou can.the ice will stop the swelling and the rest and
elevation also will help and compressing it helps too.
