Hi there,May i ask you the question? My mom is 60+ old and it s about 8 years ago. She hurt her ankle while she was getting off from the bus. At that time she little pain, and getting swelling and difficult to walk. I took her to the doctor and got X-ray and video x-ray too. and report shows there is some bone came backward and there is rust around the ankle. what is the treatment for that because i am worried about her. She is old and its hard to walk. Please give me some idea that can help her and at least she can feel better for a while. Thank you.Sansar
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As the x-ray and video x-ray is performed which shows some sort of anatomical changes in the bone position looking for the further management will be possible. Kindly meet up a physical therapy, as with videotaping there ankle joint can be made stabilize. Using an android is also the another option. Performing guided physical therapy exercises for strengthening the muscles around the joint should help regain the mobility of the ankle joint. As it is a weight-bearing joint it needs a proper strength and stability. Recovery can be slower than expected as she is 60 Years old. In my clinical practice most geriatric cases respond well to physical therapy. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
