Hi,

I have read your query.

Definitely you nee to get xray of both ankles in AP and Lateral and send me the report. Till the stop playing any type of game and apply compression bandage over the foot and ankle.

Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
