Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having pain on the inside of my right ankle, right behind my ankle bone that protrudes. I picked up running about a month ago after never really being a runner and think I strained or sprained something. It hurts to put weight on it and point my toes. I have been icing for two days with no change. I want to get back to running, what can I do?? It also hurts to push on it, and there is some swelling but I did have surgery on my large toe in July, so the swelling could be from that as well. Thanks in advance!
I have studied your case with diligence. As per your history and injury pattern there can be tear in ankle ligament leading to pain and swelling. Instability may increase due to laxity of ligament.
I will advise to repeat MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement. Till time you can continue use supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. Persistent pain after ankle injury is common and may take 6 months to heal.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
