How can I help him today? (Ask Dad)
My son hurt his ankle during his basketball game last night. I wasn't there so he can tell you what happened much better than I can. Initially, I was not as concerned, but now since his symptoms are worsening, I thought I should have him checked out..
Does he have any other symptoms or concerns we should discuss? (Ask Dad)
No. I am only worried about his ankle injury.
Is he taking any prescription medications? (Ask Dad)
Whatever is in his chart. Nothing else.
Does he have any allergies? (Ask Dad)
No.
How can I help you today? (Patient)
I fell last night during the basketball game and really "racked" up my right ankle. (Right ankle pain)
Do you have any other symptoms or concerns we should discuss? (Patient)
I'm really scared of the swelling and bruising. I am concerned because I really want to finish out the season. I have to be at the finals since tons (patient) of scouts will be there and I need a scholarship to attend college.
Do you have any tingling and/or numbness anywhere? (Patient)
No
What parts of your body did you hurt when you fell? (Patient)
Other than my ankle? I couldn't break my fall with my hands since I tripped and didn't want to lose possession of the ball so fell onto my right elbow and shoulder. I actually even forgot that I fell onto my right side, but saw some scrapes when I was showering last night. But that doesn't bother me. Nothing but my ankle hurts. My trainer already made sure I didn't hit my head and she was there and saw the whole thing.
Can you describe how you fell? (Patient)
Yeah. It was an intense game and we are close to making it to the finals so things were getting really heated and rough. I was driving to the basket to shoot a layup and tripped over another player's foot. After I fell, another player fell onto my leg. Before I knew it, there was a pile up on top of my right foot.
What are the events surrounding the start of your ankle pain? (Patient)
After I fell, I tried to get up and stay in the game. But it hurt too much to stand on my right foot so I hopped off the court. It started then and has only gotten worse. Now it's even hurting when I don't walk on it……….. Continue
