What if I’m almost at three weeks and I still can’t even walk from heel to toe without so much of a pulling / discomfort on the ankle area? Still some swelling and discoloration. The top of the foot hurts as well as underneath. Am I supposed to be able to touch the ankle by now without there being so much pain?

Hi Lisa, Following an ankle sprain swelling and discolouration can persist for a while. A few Q's to help me understand more about your ankle: - At time of the injury could you stand and put weight through your ankle relatively immediately? - Are you able to weight bear/ stand on one leg (on the side you sprained)? - Where is the spot that it is painful to touch? - Have you consulted a health professional yet? - Have your symptoms started improving or similar to when your first had your injury? - Have you seen our video recently about the best ways to manage acute injuries, it is titled ' New Injury? Do This! | PEACE & LOVE'. It might have some helpful ways to settle the swelling/pain. Cheers, The Physio Bros
