Negative for fracture

I went to the Medical City's ER a few hours ago to get my ankle checked. The findings were negative for any fracture, which is good. However, I think I'm looking at a Grade 2 or 3 sprain. Sometimes, fractures (stress or non-displaced) are better because bones heal in as quick as four weeks and it's as good as new. While major sprains, on the other hand, can take 4-8 weeks to heal and they tend to be prone to reaggravation.

I'll find out the extent of the damage by Tuesday or Wednesday when I visit my orthopedic surgeon. I've a big game on the 22nd, I'm crossing my fingers hoping I can return just in time.
