Today a doctor was at school and asked me why I was limping and I told him the story. He looked at my ankle and said it looked pretty bad and I should have X-rays done.

Yes, it hurts worse now than a week ago, but if it is broken would I have been able to walk on it for a week? If I haven't gone in for X-rays by now, what's the use? I leave on a trip in 10-days and I don't want to have a cast or a brace. If I take pain killers (or drink Mai Tais) I'm just fine with the pain.

What would you do? Is there a reason I should go in if I have been able to stand the pain this long?
