I fell down the stairs 9 days ago. ER ruled out fraction and gave me an air cast. I still can t walk without crutches. Plus I can t move my foot, forwards or backwards. Feels like pins and needles all over my foot. Pain is on the front, outside and back of ankle.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history. As there is a small fracture as per the history what I am understanding I will advise you to keep the leg elevated for few times in a day to avoid the inflammation to aggravate. Also for the pins, needles, pains and not able to do certain movements of the ankle I will advise you to undergo physical therapy as by Therapeutic ultrasound the healing will be faster and also TENS therapy to reduce the pain. Exercise with the help of a physical therapist will help regain the movements faster. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
