How To Treat The Pain In My Ankle Caused By Falling?
I sprained my ankle a while ago, and have recently fallen. Now, I have these symptoms I cannot move my ankle, or straighten my leg completely I cannot walk on that foot Around the outer bone and down to the pinky toe, I have bruising and swelling on the entire foot I am in an orthopaedic boot The pain wakes me up at night
Consulting with an orthopedist and performing an MRI of the foot is necessary. Other tests to consider would be: nerve conduction studies to investigate for a pinched nerve and inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
