    DD just broke her fibula. She didn't seem to have too much pain, but wouldn't walk. Local hospital said Sprain. 4 days later, after realising she winced when pressing on her leg, we got it xrayed and it was broken.
    I'd get it looked at.

    :/ DH doesn't think its a problem. Mostly based on Rohan jumping into her arms & she didn't complain... I will monitor her over today. No one is going to xray today anyway...

    Take she straight to the hospital as they have everything onsite. Ask them to x-ray the area.

    DH is a teacher and has had students with broken ankles & arms and only found out when the parents rang the next day. Most kids say they are fine and keep doing things normally.
    Had a niece who had broken a bone in her foot while staying with us and it was found many years later when she broke another bone if that foot.
