Hi I Fell Of A Car Yesterday When The Brakes
Question: Hi I fell of a car yesterday when the brakes were pressed really hard. Now I have a severe ankle sprain, cannot put any weight on it, and my ankle is now throbbing! What should I do?
Brief Answer:
Can be ankle sprain or fracture
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A pain in the ankle joint with inability to bear weight can be due to sprain or mild fracture.
It is advisable to find out the cause by taking an Xray of the ankle joint. Xray will help us to find out whether the bones are normal or not.
Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with this condition.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician nearby for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
