Why Am I Having Sharp Pains On The Back Of My Ankle?
Good evening,
I jarred my ankle getting off a bus three weeks ago and am still getting sharp pains after resting. Ithought ita was just a sprain so I rested for a while until I could put weight on it but I am now getting sharp pains on the back of the ankle. I am 54 and a teacher.
It seems u have hairline fracture . . Kindly do.ankle xray ap and lateral views and consult ur orthopedic sugeon . U might need a plaster slab and immobillisation for a week or more. Dont walk with full wt. Bearing on injured limb. Elevate limb while sleeping.
