Suggest Treatment For Ankle Pain
i had a fall in june and severly hurt my ankle but i did not go to the hospital as i thought it was a bad sprain. I have put up with the pain since then and finally had an xray. I received a letter from my doctor to day saying i had to phone for a consultation about my ankle?

Dear patient
You have got chronic pain in ankle that might be due to arthritis or loose bodies. So I would like to know what is your Xray report ? If Xray Is showing signs of reduced joint space it is arthritis. According to me MRI of ankle is better investigation for chronic ankle pain. MRI gives detail information of not only bone but also soft tissue and ligaments. So visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Visit expert orthopaedic surgeon with report.
