Suggest Treatment For Pain And Burning Sensation In Ankle After Injury

Hello Doctors, about 5 hours ago I fell down onto a step when the rug underneath my slipped, i know i injured my ankle somehow. It took me awhile to get back up. I slowly proceeded back into the house and sit down on a chair. I felt very light headed, sweating but cold at the same time, blurred vision, i then took a cataflam pill as well as a myprodol pill. I can feel that the intensity of the pain lowered by now but if I move my ankle slightly to the sides it hurts and when I move it up and down it sounds like a clicking noise and it burns inside. Can you please provide me with some feedback. Thank you. Marinda

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
You have injured your ankle and possibility of fracture cannot be ruled out. I would advise Xray of involved ankle with tibia fibula anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If report shows fracture you need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon nearby you urgently and avoid taking weight on involved ankle. If Xray report is normal diagnosis is sprain and treatment is 1. Crepe bandage application and rest for 3 weeks 2. Avoid putting weight on involved ankle 3. Take tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for 5 days for pain relief. 4. Ice packs frequently to reduce swelling and inflammation. All the best.
