I have a friend who’s daughter fell off the monkey bars and hurt her foot.
The school nurse said it didn’t seem broke but recommended to goto the
doctors. My friends daughter is around 6 and her ankle hurts and she cannot
walk on it. She want’s to take her to the doctors however her husband refuses
to take her unless it swells up. They do have medical insurance, he simple
wont take her. I offered to take off work and drive down to take her, however
she doesn’t think that’s a good idea because of her husband.
Can anyone give me any medical advice on sprained ankles vs broken bones? I
am kind of under the impression that a sprained ankle will swell more then a
broken one. Any links to supporting medical advice as well would be helpful
and hopefully she can prove to him that she should go to the doctors.
