What Causes Persistent Tightness In Foot And Ankle After A Injury?
I pulled a trash loaded trash can off of my truck and it hit my ankle in the front of my leg. It seem like the place feels like it is tight with no noticeable bruise. It feels like I get a noticeable twitch, like either a nerve or like blood trying to pump through a collapsed vein. The occupational dr. Said the x ray was good and felt ok with naproxen 500mg. But without the pills, I have a lot of pain, like my foot was pushed up into my ankle. Should I seek another opinion?

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
You seems to suffer from-Contused ankle with shearing strain of ankle joint mostly.
Naprosyn with Local Voltren gel would be more effective in caring tissue edema with shearing strain of ankle joint and would take at least 7-10 days.
Avulsion chip fracture of the ankle tibia/or fibula needs to be ruled out-with stress-ankle -X-ray and CT -study of the ankle joint in stress positions if need be.
Crep bandage and Hot fomentation with Leg Rest and Leg Elevation is a must for faster resolution of the ankle and foot tightness.
Second opinion from Orthopedic Surgeon, if no relief.
Hope this would help you to plan further care of this complex illness of yours.
