Should I go to the doctor?
Yesterday I was putting up Christmas lights on the roof. When I was done, I jumped off the roof (like any sane person would do), and hurt my left ankle in the fall.
The ankle is barely swollen at all, and there are no enormous bones sticking out of it, but it still hurts like a bitch! So I can't decide if it's just sprained or fractured. I have excellent health insurance, but I hate going to the doctor. Which should I do?

yes, the doctor seems like a good choice, although 2 summers ago some buddies and i went to the shore for the night and we got all drunk and i ended up jumping into a pool from the 3rd floor of the motel we were staying at, needless to say i made the jump and landed in the pool but smashed the heel of my foot on the bottom of the pool and it hurt like hell the next day, now maybe it was the excessive alcohol in my blood stream, but i never went to the doctor and all was well within 2 weeks.
P.S. plz send some of those aforementioned pain pills my way, thanks

I can't imagine having Christmas lights with snow.
I don't care about the pain... my tolerance is pretty high. I don't want the bone to fuse back together improperly if it's fractured. Anyway, it hurts much less now and I can move it a lot better. I'll wait another day and then see.

I would suggest going to the doctor. You can fracture your ankle and still be able to walk on it just fine. When I was younger I ended up fracturing mine and my parents just figured it was a sprain. It ended up healing incorrectly and so now I have problems with it. Better safe than sorry.
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive…†And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?â€

Well my ankle feels great now. Occasionally it hurts if I bend it a too far, but I can move it completely.
Another fine example of my stupidity... on Saturday I played broomball on the ice, which is pretty demanding for ankles considering all the sliding and balancing. I never had any ankle problems, but my thumb did get nicely bashed in from some idiot who was high-sticking. I'm a lucky man. I can live with a busted ankle and a busted thumb, but I dont know what I'd do if one of my vital UT fingers was messed up.

However, my thumb is so important to UT! It changes my weapons, it crouches, and it says, "Roger that."
It's indispensable
(Unless it's your mouse thumb. What a useless hand appendage that is! jk jk thumbs are the best.)
