[@phadestonkaneki9861]

Not gonna lie I ignored all the research and healed 3 days. Couldn’t stand on it day 1 so I decided to stretch the ligaments by moving my ankle to what I could handle. I didn’t ice it but 20 minutes 40 minutes between icing that same day. Day 2 I decided I’d try moving around on the toes so I didn’t feel as much pain. I limped for the first couple steps then fluid movements and it’d repeat whenever I get up after sitting. Day 3 I started putting some weight on the heel and shifted weight on and off. Well now it’s the night of day 3 and I’m walking fine. Massive swelling and bruising. I thought it was a grade 2 sprain but it’s healed a lot better than what is usual for such sprain.

Was climbing off one of the short ladders at work- stepped onto the floor wrong apparently and my foot twisted inward. I was limping all day and told my manager but couldn't do anything til my shift was up.

​@@DrTomBiernackiI left you a good review as well, thanks for the great content! Unfortunately I sprained my right foot really bad which most of the pain is between my metatarsals mostly my 2nd and 3rd. A lot of swelling on the bottom of my foot and hurts to put any pressure on my foot whatsoever.

[@kilonero9485]

I sprained both my ankles at the same time. I pretty much put my entire weight on the outer edge and side of my right foot then the other ankle let go and that one inverted too. Bruised my middle toe on the right. Scraped up the area right above the AFL on both sides. I heal pretty fast but when I walk on the right ankle without a boot it starts to hurt right away. Now the left, I think after that ankle started to roll I went down on my knee (because I got a great scrape on the left knee), but in my xrays the doc said there was this little something detached (I heard the word meniscus). Now after a month he prodded it while examining me and it hurt bad enough that I hissed out loud. The thing is even after 2 days it still hurts right under my ankle knob on the outside of my left ankle and twice I felt something move and roll up and over the protruding bone. Is that my complete ligament tear moving around under my skin? Could the examination have re-detached the healing ligament?

I rolled my ankle back in November of 2023 (its now march 2024) ended up having a mildly displaced fracture of my posterior malleolus the ER only ever did an xray no mri, here i am months later with bone loss and still constant pain, i did physical therapy for 4 weeks only for my ankle to feel even worse. I went to get a second opinion from a new podiatrist i explained how i've still had pain and it feels like my ankle is going to constantly give out i was directed to wear my walking boot again. I've been waiting for almost a week now for my mri order to come through and hopefully to get some answers.

Thank you so much for breaking down the knowledge and know how of the Sprain🙈🙏 I’m in my 6th week of healing a grade 3, it’s been real lol. Just upgraded from the boot to an ankle support brace.

[@michaeljozwiak25]

Doctor, From my ankle injury experiences and pop science knowledge, your knowledge is impeccable. As a child, I probably had a major ankle sprain on each leg either grade one or two. As a 22 year-old adult, I had probably a grade two ankle sprain. At 35 years-old, I fractured the tibia and partially tore an ankle ligament(?) or tendon(?). As a child in the 1960s, my Mother treated my ankle sprains. She probably wrapped the ankles with Ace bandages and had me take it easy for about three days. The ankle sprain as a young adult, I treated myself. I made the mistake of using heat on my ankle. The swelling really ballooned in my ankle. I knew I made the wrong choice. Next time, I iced it and the swelling and pain went way down. Wrapping the ankle with an Ace bandaged also helped out the recovery. On the fractured leg, my friends “rushed” me to the emergency room and a orthopedic surgeon casted my leg in plaster for at least 6 weeks. The partial tear in the ankle healed 100% while in the plaster cast. While an adult, I have rolled my ankles (inversion) several times while running or playing softball. For some reason, I never suffered injuries. I wondered if my Major sprains as a child stretched out my ligaments. Ankle braces or wrapping the ankles in Ace bandages has helped out for swelling, pain relief and increase functioning. Soaking the legs in epsom salt and tap cold water has seemed to expedited the healing process of the lower leg injuries. Tylenol has helped too by attacking the pain, leaving the body to concentrate on healing itself. This is my experiences.

I sprained it walking on the road a couple of days ago because there was no footpath. A car was coming so my friend and I moved over and I caught my foot and rolled it inwards. OMG - I walked home and shortly after it was like a tennis ball. I had the XRay today (cos the fibula hurt) to see if there's a fracture.

Hi! eversion injury and broken fibula on August 21. (Today is November 18) Complete dislocation but no broken ligaments or tears. That’s amazing - surgeon classified the injury as “horrific” ... whoa! Oxycondon-325 for a couple of days after Surgery/metal plate to repair Fibula. Wires to stabilize ankle after reset. (I have x-rays before and after) 2 weeks after surgery soft cast. Then 4 weeks hard cast. Now “air brace” for 8 weeks. (6 weeks to go!) Stretching and rotating ankle in the evening without the brace. Occasionally acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Trying to limit. Gabapentin for nerve discomfort. Originally 300mg 3X daily - made me dizzy and a bit confused. Had that reduced to 200mg 3X daily. So ... now I’m walking hobbling around pretty good with a cane to assist at times; the pain/discomfort is manageable but the nerve issues have me down - mentally. If I keep weight off, it’s tolerable - almost unnoticeable... but, when I move about it get’s really uncomfortable. What can I do to heal the nerve issue? What can I do to make this all better? Thanks (and I dog the video!)

[@stephaniestuart-wf7lb]

Really helpful - I had surgery for a tri-malleolar fracture 2 weeks ago. Here in the UK, they give you crutches and a boot and tell you to do exercises. I can put weight on it while I have the boot and I'm going up and down stairs. I'm waiting for the go-ahead to start hydrotherapy: the stitches/wounds need to be checked first. The advice here is great - patience and discipline with the exercises seem to be a good thing. The pain is getting less now, and the ankle mobility is increasing. I am hoping to get out of the boot as soon as I can. I have more info from this so I can ask good questions at my next appointment.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I hope that you will get better soon. After 4 weeks from the accident x-ray examination would only confirm that all bones are OK or that the healing of broken bone is in an advanced stage. If the bone was broken and misaligned while starting to heal then your bone has incorrect shape and may cause pain and other medical issues permanently. Get it checked with a doctor.

I sprained my ankle and I think it,s a grade 3, I heard a snap inside my ankle while it happened. Its been 10 days now, and I'm still bruised, and it hurts alot walking. The doctors said it was not broken, beause my bone did not hurt when touched. They said even if my ligament is completely torn, they don't recommend surgery, because it usually makes more a mess than good. I do think they should do a MRI or something that shows soft tissue, so I can be ahead of a long long recovery with unknown complications. And they told me to rest for 48 hours, and then start to walk and use it as much as I can to my pain limit, then it recovers faster. They did not said anything about more rest in different injury grades, or recommended a boot or nothing, only got a supportive sock I could use if I wanted.

Excellent video-fell down hill while in roller skates and heard 3 cracks. I been icing, resting, taking ibuprofen and using ankle sleeve. I feel fine and have some swelling of course. I have a 7 day cruise coming up on Sunday and was wondering if I should boot up ankle before going? Thoughts...thanks again.

The boot and ice helped the most. two days with the two helped the most.

Very very very very Veeeery Helpful ‼️

I was walking around a city with slip on shoes. The shoe twisted around my foot first, so to follow the shape of the shoe my foot also twisted and I went down. So the culprit was walking in slip ons too much. Got a grade 2 based on what you described.

I sprained my ankle Playing 1 on 1 basketball and shooting hoops. I had not played prior to this for about 10 years of not playing basketball. I jumped and landed on my ankle there you have it it’s been about 2/half months now since the accident and still recovering.😮😢

Thank you! Wonderful, helpful information..

You are amazing, thank you so much!

[@TASIAawful1]

Hello please can you tell me with a stage 3 which I believe I have can I start to walk on it outside although it is still a little painful and swollen around ankle joint mildly. I’ve been resting it and strapping it for one month but last couple of days feels more comfortable to walk on. Plus is it ok to start doing some stretching exercises or do you suggest to just rest it more as it’s still swollen slightly. All the black/blue bruising has now gone too..Thank you

[@jcastro-baez4446]

[@user-pt8xw9nw5v]

I twisted my ankle walking in the woods. I stepped high from rocks to the woods with my granddaughter. I felt the twist in my right foot. I had the xray and a shot. I'll get the things to help me. I do feel the pain slide up my let as I sleep.Thank you!

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Tha k you so much and hope you are feeling better! ☺️🙏

[@kilonero9485]

I don't have very much instability though. Mostly I just can't point my toes. I can pretty much get them both into 90° positions. A little confused, what do you think?

[@kathyouthere]

I have nephropathy and a spinal fusion from T4 down. I also have left foot drop. I got up from a seated position and took 3 or 4 steps. My foot gave way and twisted and I ended up falling. It's swollen and when I wiggle my toes it hurts. I have ice on it right now and will watch it.

[@ehababumoailish6574]

I suffered with talus fracture and ATFl + CFL grade II tear. It's been 8 months but the pain is still persistent 😢

[@Ronsredrocker1969]

A week ago I was walking down the stairs & I missed the very last step & twisted my ankle. It is alot better then it was & it’s still a little purple above the heel on one side & a purple spot on the opposite side above the heel

[@kristinekushner3504]

I rolled my ankle during a trail run. No real pain and very little swelling. Still no pain and little swelling after a day of icing and anti inflammatories. I feel something stretched below the lateral ankle bone and if I touch it I can feel a little bit of pain. I can walk fine. Feel some pressure but no pain. Should I just continue as normal? Everything says resume back to normal if there is not pain and very little swelling.

[@sangwanimkandawire7967]

i enjoyed the presentation, my question is: got involved in an accident, was bicycle got hit by car, i had my ankle and knee joint got injured. since that time i have been having episodes of ankle sprain mostly and pain affects my knee joint, what could be the permanent solution?

[@colemyst]

I snapped my ankle inward almost into a U a few years ago helping someone move. I thought I'd broken it or tore a ligament because of the burning and pain but it didn't bruise or swell really; it just hurt like a SOB for couple weeks. Speed forward to a few weeks ago and I wore my new leather supportive "walking shoes" from LLBean for a day and now my ankle is just like it was before but won't stop hurting. I ice and rest but need to use stairs one at a time or I suffer. I already stretch and take all the vitamins you mention and only real aspirin (blood issue) for pain. I can point my toes without pain but twisting side to side or pulling my toes upwards hurts. Doesn't feel like a break. I figured it is a ATL and CFL. But I don't know why using a better walking shoe would set this off after years of no issues.

[@alondracastillo3380]

i was playing basketball. I landed on my foot and i heard a pop. I started feeling just fine after about 5 minutes. I got home 20 minutes later and saw the swelling. I can walk on it just fine right now but I just want to know if it is a sprain. It seems to be just an inversion sprain because there is no bruising, just swelling. I hope I'll be okay.

[@julieleach9787]

Roller skating, just went down backwards and to right but left leg ended up underneath me bent at knee, I also heard a crack

[@leennaseral-deen6339]

Hello I fell and twisted my ankle and kept walking on it for 3 days although I used a muscle relaxing cream and ice but it was swallowing and got worse with more pain !! Is putting a cast and resting for 2 a good choice now ? I believe I twisted a ligament and a tendon as the doctor told me after the x ray

[@madhavgole]

I have ATFL avulsion probably stage 1 and this video explains me what's gone wrong. Thanks

[@madhavgole]

@@DrTomBiernacki thanks for the sweet words... My pop got removed today by consulting ortho and bandage is suggested with rest to the foot by keeping it on two pillows and continued medication luckily feeling much lighter now and walk easily

[@kellyparker-lorian9202]

I am in the 3rd week healing from 2 fractures of R foot. The pain is much better, I think it's healing well however when I stand on just my injured leg I can not pull my heal up from the floor, at all. This does not cause pain, I have normal use otherwise. Could this be ligament or tendon damage?

[@MatildaMarina]

Last weekend I was pushed from the stairs and when I fell, I saw something staring out of my leg. I thought it's a bones, but then in a hospital doctors said that it's a ligaments. My shame, I didn't know how it's looks like. On Monday will have a surgery to sewing the Brocken ligaments.

[@shiny2244]

Hello doctor, I got an ankle 1st grade injury in my right ankle on atfl 10 months ago but soon after injury I didn't know it's a ligament one so I didn't take rest then after I got to know I took rest for a while then tried to get back to my normal life but the pain kept coming back due to 2 reinjuries, one was on this year January after I tried dancing and after that I got a depo medrol injection on my foot and have been resting going for small walks but no physio, recently I went out for 2 days and after walking more than usual and moving around more than usual pain came, the nerves have been tingling but in January I got an mri so there isn't any nerve injury. There's alot of stifness in my legs. After watching your video I think it's because of not doing much activities or any excercise, do you think I can do some basic stretching physio? I did some massage with roller today as my calf muscle nerve have been paining alot. I'm a 20 year old and got this injury due to slipping from stairs 10 months ago, and now I want to go back to hostel in 15 days for my exams and then I have my internships, I've not attended college this whole semester and I really need to get back to my usual life! Please give some advice. And also ice isn't working for me anymore, I feel more stiffness, heat seems to feel a little better than ice. Please give me some advice, I really need to get better, it's been too long sir.

[@bluesriderDF]

What are your thoughts on using rubber stretch bands to gently work the muscles of the ankle while recovering?

Thank you for this information. I had an ankle injury from 8 months ago. It was swollen and severe pain. Now there is no swelling, but there is pain only in the middle of the night. What is your advice to relieve the pain?

[@user-wd3kl5ok9i]

Could u tell me that how ur swelling has gone? I have the opposite issue of yours😭😂 I have no pain alhamdulillah but all I have is that swelling and it's not healing so any suggestions for swelling issue? Plz reply bro I seriously want to know🤧

[@janett9848]

I jumped on a inclined hill and inverted my ankle :( and it’s taking forever to heal. I Got an X-ray showing no broken bones ortho doctor didn’t rec an mri. I remember hearing a pop. And idk It’s been little over one month and I’m going crazy cause it’s still swollen and it hurts and there is a sharp pain on my talus when I step on my heel and push off backgrounds. Any recommendations?

[@mashhoodkhan391]

I have inversion injury and its been a week its hurting mildly while walking on front medial side of lateral malleolus.....its not swollen or bruise purple its just hurting to mild degree...what should i do

[@manjitpattni9404]

I have got purple swells on left and right side of the foot next to ankle, its been 10 days now. I am trying to rest as much as possible. I assume its grade 3. Can you please suggest anything for a speedy recovery so I can get back to my daily routine. Thanks in advance

[@EddieKrisDestura]

Thanks doc I had so many learn from you how to heal my uncle

[@ramkumarks90]

Thanks for the info but In my case, Injury happened on 2022, we don’t know the exact home treatment so my uncle applied dolokind gel. It took 4 to 5 days to settled down from pain. Though it didn’t cause major issue, now whenever I touch my cuboid bone or if I slap slowly, I can still feel the pain. What should I do now?

[@ladylight8585]

Thank you for your videos, they are very informative. Wanted to find out if you do online consultation, my partner sprained both ankles (both look like stage 3) we don't sleep, Ice therapy helps but has damaged his skin underneath.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Hi Lady Light, believe me I would love to, but I have am prevented by doing any out of state and unconsented patient video consults due to state medical board restrictions. I wish it was easier as well! Good luck and hope you can find some relief with a doctor near you!

[@elizabethtorres6069]

I have a 5th Metarsal fracture, going down the stairs.. I stepped down on my cramped left foot.

[@nadiasampson2986]

Simply going for a walk and not watching where I was going. I stepped into a hole, heel first. So my CFL and PTFL affected.

[@kyraman55]

Ankle pain is on the outer of my left ankle . No pain while walking but when you get up there is pain on the portion just above outer ankle

[@jackiegrant410]

I heard my ankle creek when it twisted from a hole in the pavement, it took me to the ground, I nearly fainted and vomited. I couldn’t walk first day, then used stick for two days. I used arnica, ice and rest. Nearly five weeks later I still keep it strapped during the day. It’s getting better but after a walk it aches, I never got it seen and understand that I could be like this for up to six months. I walk about as much as possible.
