Hello, I have studied your case. I have studied your case with diligence. I will advise doing MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement. Till time, you can continue use supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. Persistent pain after ankle injury is common and may take 6 months to heal. Your symptoms suggest possibility of Deep vein thrombosis along with it. Ultrasonography/color Doppler leg will help to rule pathology leading warm sensation. Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be ruled out; antibiotic can be started according to examination. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
