Suggest Medication For Intense Pain And Numbness In Ankle
I sprained my ankle 8 days ago at work. The workers comp dr is actually a PA. After they did water ultra sound therapy on me the pain was horrific. A few hours later the pain was intense and began to get numb and cold. The PA said it is normal. IS this?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The intense pain in the ankle after a sprain could be due to a bone injury. This needs to be ruled out after an X-ray. Only pain killers will not help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
