What Causes Severe Pain In The Ankle With No Fracture In X Ray?
i have a grade 3 ankle sprain, im positive that is the case because the xray showed no fractures or breaks but i can bear no weight on it and it would be impossible for me to lower my foot below my heart because of the pain that follows. is it normal for this type of sprain to give me a burning/stinging sensation on the top of my foot, close to my toe knuckles?

Hello,
It could be a contusion or sprain which is not visible in X-ray.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
