Sprained ankle, doctor visit today? (Read description)

Question

Ok so I've sprained my ankle before but not this bad. I'm 9 weeks pregnant and I stepped down off the stairs and my foot went inward completely and everything went numb before the pain flowed. Now it hurts to walk as well as while resting. Not much swelling or a brusie. I have pain on the top of my foot and when curling toes. I know I might be worried for nothing but my question is would you go to the doctor today or just wait a few days or just not go at all?? 
Also have a year old and on feet constantly.

Answer

I rolled my ankle stepping off a step and fell. I thought it was just a sprain so I iced it, took Tylenol, and elevated it. Stayed off of it as much as I could. After three weeks the pain was still there and it was still swollen. So I decided to see a podiatrist who took X-rays and discovered I had a buckle fracture on the tip of my fibula. I ended up in a walking boot for three weeks. You can try home remedies for a bit but if it persists you may want to have a doctor look at it. Good luck.

Answer

If it’s a sprain, it just is what it is. A doctor can’t do much for you 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I would personally elevate it, take some Tylenol and maybe ice it, as stay off it for as much as possible with your year old. If there’s no improvement in a day or two I’d get seen.... but obviously only you know how badly you actually fell and if there’s a risk of a break.
