I get tenderness after wearing shoes around the ATFL and inferior peroneal retinaculum. Wearing compression socks has helped with swelling and will try the Ghost shoes while I wait for appointments. Has been off and on since an ankle injury a year ago.

MD did NOT suggest any PT so I'm treating myself through KZbin & have a compression wrap. (Side note - I hope you ignore any criticisms.

How's your healing process? 2 months today since my injury 😢

[@TinaArnoldi]

@@ccMomOfJays It took a while but I'm pretty good. My ankle "cracks" sometimes like any other joint but it doesn't hurt.

[@AfaanOromostock-]

I'm glad I came across this video. Thank you for the helpful information. I had a broken ankle 7 days ago, and the uofmn hospital issued air soft boots with no weight-bearing instructions for 4 weeks. X-rays and CT scans have been done. I was curious why the ankle swelling persists.

[@TheJellyBabyxxxx]

I sprained my ankle 24th ago slipping down stairs. Ice pack 20- 30 mins every 3 hours. Elevate foot above my head, and a gentle bandage & mild compression sock have done wonders. Imo allow for swelling to happen whilst adding comfortable pressure to minimalise it. Always remove when sleeping. Ankle supports are readily available on Amazon & I've ordered mine on next day prime delivery. I know from a bad sprain I had many years ago the strap up ones really help. Plus they're so much easier to get the right support at home above a normal crepe bandage. They're cheap too. I got mine for £5.99 I was advised by the UK Health service advisory line to take ibuprofen. But I only took 2 doses as I've read that they can thin the blood & stall healing. So now only paracetamol strictly as on the packet. In USA I believe it's called Tylenol. Taking too much can really do damage, so imo never take more than they state. Fingers crossed this gets me up & about in a week's time. My sprain was really painful & I could barely walk on it this morning. That said, it's got a lot better throughout the day. All the very best everyone. It's a nasty shock when it unexpectedly happens. Thank goodness I wear classic style Emu boots a lot. I think they strengthened my feet before this happened. They have robust yet lightweight PVA soles. Their ankle support is plyable thin plastic, not cardboard. Plus they.have high welfare standards for their sheep. I'm hoping they've helped keep my ankles & feet in good alignment prior to my littlle mishap lol. My swelling & bruising so far is surprisingly fairly minimal. Yeah it's there but it hasn't got worse & my flexibility is good already.

[@giuliagiacintucci5890]

I sprained my ankle 6 days ago and the swelling almost went down but now when I try to walk normally I just can’t, I have this fear that doesn’t let me to try walking normally. Yesterday my foot began to hurt and I could not sleep. I’ve been doing circles in the air and other stretching exercises and I don’t know anymore should I walk normally or rest it more..?

Always get checked out for a blood clot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGW5poWIlMaarrM

Also calf pain or a muscle tear can be possible, as well stiffness or a contracture. I know its a tough answer, but always get checked out if you are worried!

[@TheEmeraldAlfheim]

I fell about 8ft from an indoor rock climbing wall 3 months ago. I still have a lot of ankle pain. Upon falling I landed like a gymnast with both feet flat down. I believe I absorbed the shock up through the inside of my right leg before rolling my ankle inward. The inside of my knee hurt for awhile, but that has healed. My ankle swells up, but I do work on my feet. The one thing I can't figure out is why the inside of my foot hurts equally. The soft spot right at the back inside of my foot. A pinching pain at times. When I dorsiflex my foot I have the most pain that radiates around the outside of my ankle. When injured I had brushing going up the outside of my leg and along the bottom of my foot. No broken bone. I can't afford an MRI so I'm really just hoping this pain subsides soon and I can finally go back to the gym. If you read this far and have any knowledge on what might be going on please comment. Thank you!

I had the same thing happen to me in a rock climbing gym and wanted to ask if your ankle eventually improved

[@TheEmeraldAlfheim]

@@r4lpf I have been weight lifting again since February. Lifting has significantly helped my mobility. I went back to the climbing gym a few days ago. I think my ankle is more capable than I can mentally wrap my head around. I was really nervous climbing and didn't finish climbs because I was afraid I'd miss a grab and fall. I did however flash a three which isn't bad more me because that's where I was when I got injured. I was working on 4s. I did an overhang and when I came down because again I was nervous to continue, I landed first on my injured ankle and then my other. That hurt a bit but it didn't bother me for the whole day. Not sure if that helps. I have decided to continue weight lifting and put off climbing. I think my ankle can handle it just not the impact from falling or jumping down. I will try again come next year.

Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching Jenn! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHqTpHSEjql5bK8 This video can be a great start. I would also evaluate biomechanically to assess for tight back, hips, knees, hamstrings & feet to assess where is tight and then address it through massage, stretching & then strengthening. It is also important to support our patients with the proper shoe gear, insoles, home slippers, and potential braces at that time. A combination of physical therapy and supportive devices can make a huge difference as your overall health improves! We wish you were closer.

Sorry I’m unclear, are you supposed to wait to stretch and exercise it for the estimated healing times? So for example if I have a grade 3 injury, wait till after 3 months to try to stretch it? Or should we do it as tolerated sooner?

[@anojkarki9779]

[@DoughlasPlacer]

Can I still have a surgery even after casted it for 6 weeks,if it wasn't not return to normal

[@Nani-vz5yb]

It’s been a year since my sprain happen and it’s not swollen or anything.. it just hurt when twist or walk and nor does it broken 😢

[@77jcarva]

if you come to Costa Rica someday let me know Doctor, I have an endless problem (pain) since 1.5 year after my peronial tendonitis on my right foot/leg, I had to start using only Asics running shoes, the pain is controlled / depleted. However, there are still small symptoms, in some moments small pain come and go. Regards.

Is it normal to have no dorsiflexion after 1 month of ankle sprain? I couldn't bear weight for a couple weeks, and couldn't walk at all for 2.5 weeks. I'm walking now, but with a heavy limp. It feels like something is physically in front and top of the ankle at joint not letting me bend. It's still swollen around the ankle, and a lot of the spots on the foot and even above the ankle are still tender. The dorsiflexion is the one thing that is not progressing for me. Other things were gradually getting better every day or two. I'm doing regular rehab with exercising, massaging, and all that. X rays showed no fractures.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

It could be swollen, and sometimes an injury to the intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve may be the issue. 99.9% of the time this gets better with good support and decrease in inflammation. Just make sure no further missed in jury ❤️😊🙏

Can I walk with my boot on or wait 6 weeks to 3 months to put wt on it? I twisted my right ankle on 6/20/22. I have level 3 ligament tear. I have ATFL complete tear. I have been walking a little with my boot on but I use crutches to prevent putting too much wt on it.

[@Mari-oq6xf]

Same here Frieda. Mine happened 6/19/22. I have been in a boot to immobilize the ankle x 2 months, keeping it in a flexed position in order to allow the tendon to heal, not loosely. Today, my pain is better in the boot. Outside the boot, my ankle is still painful and super instable, all I can do is limp. Pretty worried about this. Im hoping after this next month the ankle mobility and stability will improve. I'd love to get your input on how you continue to heal. Wishing you a healthy, uncomplicated healing journey!

[@pranjaljyoti]

@@Mari-oq6xf Dude could you please advice me what should I do Actually about a month ago I sprained my ankle and had some injuries in atfl ligament But slowly within 1 weak my pain was almost healed But the swelling is being constant it's not decreasing with time , also I cant walk on my toes u think I still have some unhealed part of ligament So dude ? Is it ok to walk ? Or should I immobilize my ankle ? Or any another advice from your side ? It'll be a great help for me And ignore my English I know it's bad

[@Mari-oq6xf]

@@pranjaljyoti Hi. I'm sorry you're dealing with this too. It's been 6 months since my ankle tendon tears. Today I am walking in normal shoes with some pain here and there and some ankle instability. I walked in a boot x 3 months. Then switched to an ankle brace. At nighttime, I did ankle flexion/extension exercises. Eat well!! Take multivitamins to assist in healing well. Someone with the same injuries told me it took them 1 year to get 90% better. Good luck with your healing journey!

[@JenniferWeber-l8g]

Have a Weber B ankke fracture. It's been 3 and a half weeks, and pain is still bad.

[@TheCgonzales8]

What about barefoot shoes? To help increase ankle stability.

[@MeMe-i2p8r]

I’ve been so frustrated I sprained my ankle and was placed in a medicated Una boot and shoe boot. I took it off too early and reinjured the same ankle again. My Podiatrist asked me to go for MRI I declined at the time because I assumed my ankle would get better.Now I am in another CAM boot(longer than the first one) and going for an MRI. SMH. When I take CAM boot off when I get home from work- I’m ok until I’m off my feet for long period of time- when try walking it’s painful. Any suggestions? Can’t wait to get MRI I hope nothing is bad.

On November 22nd I broke my fibula bone all the way through plus I have an alvusion fraction. I still have some swelling on the inside and outside of my ankle plus my foot has a blue coloring not from bruising - which went away. My feet are two different colors. What is causing this bluish color in my foot? Still pain. Couldn't wear an ankle brace as it caused too much pain across the top middle of my foot. Help.

[@scv-raw2071]

What ankle grade sprain do I have if it still feels weak after 6 months and it never bruised when I first got it?I can use it normal until I turn it really far which is used for skateboarding

Can we take slab after 15 days of ankle sprain injury

[@pamelam8914]

I fell off my chair that was broken (did not know) outside on my concrete. I scraped my ankle bad. I was more worried about infection, so I went for a Tetanus shot and X-Ray. They said all looked good. Here I am about 6 months later and went to a professional ankle Doc. she said I have a Sprain of Lateral Ligament of ankle joint. I still have swelling and have been using my feet because nothing really bothered me. But swelling never went down and a little very little pain. She put me in a lace up ankle boot. I wear it daily. I am to go for an MRI soon. The fall was not that bad, I guess I am confused. The system is working slow, so I guess maybe I am safe to walk with my ankle boot which is not that great, kinda flimsy. I have no pain except when she pushed in to the skin around the ankle bone, ouch! That's the spot.

My left heal painful,stiff and sore mornings mostly..and ankcle swollen ?

[@WTF7281]

Thanks for your information it was useful and wonderful, 18 months ago I got inversion during a football match however I did an X-Ray but it didn't show anything and the doctor told me that it is not serious go and rest for a few days then slowly start your exercises again after rest I have done after rest when I started doing sport pain started again until it became worse. I have referred back to doctor he told me to do MRI and the following is the result of MRI: 1. Subchondral fracture of dome of talus bone with associated surrounding moderate edema. 2. Mild free fluid in tibiotalar joint space. 3. Sprain of anterior tibiotalar ligament. since that time i have used different medicines under treatment of doctors the front pain is solved but still pain suffers me from the right side and back of ankle some them of doctors say that there is no need for surgery it will be ok in the feature but some says that it wouldn't be back to its normal situation and also no chances of surgical operation. And one thing to be mentioned that there is no instability of ankle I can walk even run but after the muscles becomes starts its pain looking forward for your kind instructions.

OMG I am Shook, I sprained my ankle 6 days ago when I was getting off a bus I just missed a step, I rushed to the er and I was diagnosed with a foot sprain, X-ray didn’t show any fracture but now after 5 days the pain is worse tonight I could not sleep, I was elevating it for the past days and avoiding to walk without crutches I don’t even go out, I’m so afraid cause imwas reading about so many complications 😢 like arthritis which is something there is no cure for. What should I do next? Shall I wait a week more or rush to the doctor and ask for an MRI asap?
