Ankle Sprain Evaluation with Paul Marquis PT

Hi man, had my ankle injured 3 days ago, also no bruises or bloody marks, just some swelling that seems to start go away a slowly. I can stand on my feet, but when moving ankle to the side, it causes pain I guess it’s cuz of swelling and lingaments damage. Hope it recovers in a week. How long did it take u to go back to normal?

This is more of an exam than my dr did! My ankle clicks when I walk. Even with my boot and crutches. Also the side of my leg is sore and it never crossed my mind that I could have fractured or hurt that. Makes sense. From outside of my ankle to the inside is sharp pains and I still can put all my weight on it. It feel so unstable. X-rays didn’t show anything. Mri next.

I recently experienced,imho, a severe inversion sprain at work and an MRI was performed about 3 weeks after; it was determined that the Peroneal Tendon suffered a tear. Unfortunately, the Podiatrist I’ve seen isnt as thorough in providing me with an overview of my injury as you have here. Right off the bat, at the 1:00 mark, your mentioning of following the fibula and checking for the maisonneuve fracture AND how I indicated to the Podiatrist im seeing how that region was severely tender. This injury occurred on 6/23 and I’m curious if you’ve ever done a Peroneal Tendon video? Thank You, this 5min video was more informative than the 2 visits I had at the specialists office. Currently seeking a second opinion in the mean time.

[@AnnnnnaQ]

Omg thank u so much for this! I'm also 46 and about the same weight. I run, swim and walk but recently I was on vaycay at the beach and the amusement park but somewhere in between that time I hurt my ankle.(dorsal region?) I had on flip-flops on the Beach and the sand was treacherous and uneven...I also packed my old walking shoes instead of my runners by mistake and did jog intervals in my walkers..smh. I can't pinpoint where I injured it but walking down the steps is tough...walking up the steps is fine. I'm somewhat distraught because I'm probably going to have to replace my high intensity exercises with swimming and bicycling...but this video made me feel a little better. I will put on my ankle brace to keep things stable and see how it goes..

[@Arkenva]

Question - I sprained my ankle about 3 months ago. Thankfully my dad being a background in some medicine and has all the random medical things, was on the spot with ace wraps, knowledge of stabilizing, and even crutches. I was unable to put weight on it, rested for about 3 full days, then gradually practiced putting weight over the next days. I watched a ton of videos and thought maybe it’s a simple sprain since I didn’t see any bruising. Kept ice and elevation. Since I thought maybe a simple sprain I decided to just observe and rest instead of going to urgent care. At about 1.5 weeks or so, I realized there actually was bruising, but I figured I was healing well and it was minor since I could put some weight on it. I think by 3 weeks I was limping and ok, but with pain in the ligament spots, but also a toe. Anyway now (3 months later) I’ve been fully walking, but notice pain/aching in some spots after some walking, house work, randomly when I wake up and before bed. So … definitely more often than I expected to. If I went to get seen and an X-ray at this point, is it too late to determine damage via X-rays? Thanks for any help you can offer.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Probably you would do an MRI to see ligament damage. An X-ray is to see bone fracture which it sounds like you do not have.

They sent me home with a air splint that wasn't helping alleviate any of the pain. I have severe pain on both sides of my ankle but its worse on the inside of the ankle.

How long for you to get back? It’s been 2 weeks and I still can’t practice

[@QuickRipzz]

@@ocypherowens1763 thankfully I feel a whole lot better. It's been 3 months. But I'm finally better. You need an ankle brace to support your ankle when walking so You don't roll it again. Do rehab exercises 3 times daily. Stay away from salt and added sugars as they are inflammatories. Coconut juice without sugar is an anti inflammatory for the swelling and well as apple cider vinegar. I was drinking VITACOCO brand coconut mixed with pineapple flavor juice you can find at the local grocery store. It going to require time for the ligaments to heal as they have poor blood flow. So you have to be patient for a couple months or so depending on the severity of the ankle.

I am a teacher and sprained my ankle a year ago while coming down the stairs. Xray showed no fracture but MRI showed inflammatory synovitis with mild ankle joint effusion. I had no option to quit the job at that time, so I took no rest and kept working all days. I used to get cramps and pain while standing, walking, climbing stairs and swelling by the end of the day. The injury became more serious and I had to quit the job. It's been almost 2 months now I have been resting at home. But still I can't walk properly and my ankle shows stiffness, redness, swelling and burning pain. I can climb the stairs but can't go down the stairs easily. It really hurts. I feel hopeless and helpless thinking that my ankle has been permanently damaged. Not understanding what to do.... totally fed up now.☹️😫 Someone please suggest what should be done?

How are you now

[@ShairaFajota]

Hello hows your ankle now?

[@razveer2008]

I had an ankle sprain while playing basketball it Rolled in an unusual way. its only hurts when i do dorsiflexion and and "point the toes away from shin" ( i hope i know whats the name of this motion). When the ankle rolled i didn't have that much pain so i continued playing and it went well. I came home, the next day i could walk properly can fo stuff properly but when I started working out that started to hurt again, its not a severe pain tho. What should i do?

How did her X-rays come out?

[@sunipadas5502]

Sir my daughter felt from d bed on 4th Feb 2022,after that she refused to stand on her feet.we took her to the hospital.dr. Said that there was no fracture,crack or ligament tear case. Ankle sprain was the reason. Dr suggested for ice compression and ibugesic plus medicine for 5days.Now she can walk but she is limping slightly.when I move her feet up and down there is nothing but there is slight pain clockwise anticlockwise movement. Now it's 11days. Sir is there any reason for worry about?

[@sunipadas5502]

By the way she is only 2.5yrs old

[@RusaMarie]

Doc, So what grade was this?

[@radheshyambhati1669]

Dear sir, I had fifth meta tarsal base fracture in my right leg, after that Dr. Had put cast for one and a half month and than removed it. After removing cast my ankle got swelled, I can walk but not more, my thumb and fingers base are paining, my ankle heel is paining, I can't walk easily, I am limping, swelling on both side of ankle, its 5 days over of my cast removal, , one more thing my injured leg calf muscles are very loose as compared to right calf, please guide,

[@OrthoEvalPal]

I think you need a more comprehensive evaluation. Hard to tell without looking at it

[@lwqz]

Did she have fractures after X-Ray?

[@PinkStalin]

If she were to have her foot dangle from the table there, but need to hold her foot “up” , that it not let it fall to a hanging position, would that indicate anything specific? Asking for a “friend”. 😆

[@Juno_Beach]

Why not FIRST X-ray ?

[@hannahclark8696]

I hurt my ankle at gymnastics and I heard a pop, I iced it but the swelling didn't go down. It hurts to touch a little above the tip of the ankle bone and the muscle that goes up the leg, but only like an inch up, is this normal for a sprained ankle or did I just roll my ankle

[@OrthoEvalPal]

They are pretty much the same. You may need an x-ray to rule out a fracture.

[@mqodnwlo]

Are you okay now

[@hannahclark8696]

@@mqodnwlo yeah I'm fine now but this has happened before it just took a little while to heal

[@Rene-uz3eb]

Oh no. This takes a long time to heal, not just a few days, more like two weeks. Just be extra careful not to trip again, that takes another two weeks.

[@Kay-bd1ht]

How do you know if she has dvt?

[@titusrobinson9663]

Nee looking at my foot holly crap my bone don't go there

[@SuperBajafresh]

The real means to heal is to soak the 🦶 foot in Epsom salt, add some CBD oil or evil bone water oil to the infected area, wrap it, compressed but make sure the rap is not too tight and finally raised it ...if you have one of those yoga round rollers raise your foot on top of that and as you're doing that start exercising your toes to go in and out to exercise it. Then seek cold laser treatment from a physical therapist or chiropractor to help heal it faster and reduce the pain and eventually keep exercising the foot. In less than a week you will be able to walk with crutches. In two weeks no crutches. Peace. 🎉🎉🎉

My tooth is completely swollen. I can not walk.
