[|Human|] I slightly hurt my ankle 6 days ago, but it seems to be getting progressively worse. The last 2 days I can barely walk on it, it s swollen and painful, mainly on the inside of my ankle. I am a bit concerned since it s almost a week later and didn t seem bad at all when I did it initially.
