I hurt my ankle during my trip. Should I get a check up?

[zachary33]

I’m currently on tour for a social dating tour and I’ve recently hurt my ankle pretty bad the other day. I wouldn’t call it an urgent medical emergency but it is painful enough for me to consider getting it checked on. My question is, should I get it when I get back or here? The thing is, I’d have to skip a day of the tour just for the check up and I don’t really want to because it’ll be a waste of money and time. I’m also unfamiliar with the area as well so, I’ll have to either go on my own or ask someone from the staff if it’s possible. Need some suggestions on this though to make sure.

Hi zachary33,

Thanks for your post.

It's always worth getting any injuries checked up on, even if you think you can go on. If you have done any serious damage to it, putting off getting checked could aggravate the injury further.

It is certainly worth reaching out to one of the staff members to get advice on where you can go.

Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes
