Hey i was playing baseball and i slipped and fell on my knee and ankle as the leg went backwards. I heard a snapping sound when that happened and i was in horrible pain. The ankle immediately swelled up. I went home and iced it.

This morning the sides of my ankle feel better but the back of my heel feels stiff and is causing me fair amount of pain. The top of my foot is now hurting as well. It hurts to walk as well but mainly from the back of the heel area.

Anyone?

Torn Achilles tendon? Get it checked as soon as possible before it snaps.
 
If it hurts when you put pressure on it - stop putting pressure on it.
 
Sounds like a strained/torn achilles. Get checked out before it's a ruptured achilles. Ouch!
 
oh thats bad ts,you got herpes of the ankle.
 
I had a partial tear in 2 ligaments in my ankle about a year ago. I was playing basketball, had a head of steam and jumped off of someones foot as I was driving in to lay it up. Swelled up immediately like you said, I was on the ground for about 20 seconds and when someone helped me up there was a softball in my ankle basically. Sounds similar to yours because I also twisted my knee up a bit.

Went to the hospital and they gave me a shot and said I'd be good in a week. Went to an actual ankle specialist after a week was up and it wasn't improving. He properly diagnosed me and put me in a boot for almost 2 months. I'd go get it checked out at a specialist.

Cut both legs off at the knees and change your name to Cotton.
Become a 'special' olympian and show them chromosome challenged people that it's not just about participating. Adopt the Conor McGregor persona and just talk shit about your opponents.
 
You’ve come to the right place.

Oh, wait, no you didn’t. You went to a karate subforum.

Go to a fucking hospital ya dummy.

Had a guy I worked with in 1979 do basically the same thing. When he went to the specialist it was an Achilles tear and he was told that if it snaps the would have to cut his calf open to stretch it back out. They put a walking cast on it for 2 months. We used to put him on a 2 wheel cart and take him back and forth to the break room.
 
Damn thx for some serious replies in here and i also appreciate the funny ones as well.

Something broken or torn, doctors asap, splints casts or surgery possible, months of rehab likely.

Or you're over blowing it and a pussy, but when I have symptoms like that it's usually something pretty awful.
