<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I twisted my footankle a few days ago at work. I thought it was alright, but in the past day or two it has begun burning and throbbing, but is not swollen. I ve been propping it up and using an ice pack. Anything else that would help? Is it worth getting it looked at by a doctor?  <response>: Hello, As what I feel is an x-ray is a must. It might be an ankle sprain but sometimes a hairline fracture too which gets ignored in initial stages and later the healing is not proper. Please get an x-ray and meet up and orthopedist. Also, for now kindly Immobilize the ankle with crêpe bandage and keep it elevated over a pillow and do not put 100 of body weight for 2 weeks. For healing to occur. Most ankle sprains which happen in the ankle ligaments dont heal properly due to poor care. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
