I got side kicked by a horse with shoes on to the inside just above my ankle. It hurt extremely bad! I have taken 2 ibuprofen and 2 Advil and got ice on it right away. And is elevated.Swelling is at a medium but still hurts at the ankle. I can put weight on it and can move it up down a little. There is a pop or click sound. When I point my toe down. Should I get an X-ray got to a dr.? Or let it rest a day before going?
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Swelling might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
