Last night I fell down a flight of stairs and rolled my ankle bad. It's black and blue and swollen but my s/o has no sympathy for me already. In context I only ask her to help me to the bathroom. Besides crawling, which I do now, should I duke it out more? I just don't understand, I can't physically put weight on it(without involuntarily screaming).

also, don't take anything stronger than ibuprofen so you can gauge the pain. that's diagnostically relevant.

If what you’re doing hurts, stop doing that.
