my 15 year old son got hit in the ankle with a hockey slap shot and it was swollen that day and the swelling went away and he was able to walk but he then played hockey the next night and it was swollen again and he is unable to point his foot down without pain. Is this a sprain?
Hello, In case of fracture pain and swelling does not go away by itself, in that case it does take at least 3-4 weeks to go away. To me, it looks to be a sprain. You should do following to have relief in this
