I stepped in a hole about 2 weeks ago and rolled the outside ankle, the bottom of my left ankle is swollen about the size of a golfball, went to er doc they took xray said no break but it feels worse than a broken toe, now pain is going up the back side of leg
Hello, If the x-rays doesn't show any fracture, that means you have ankle sprain. Apply ice to the ankle, take complete rest, dont bear weight on affected side, keep your limb elevated all the time (keep pillows below the leg) and use analgesics and antiedema medication for 3-5 days. This should help you. You can also apply a cr\u00eape bandage. If not relieved in 3-5 days, consult doctor again hope this helps
