I fell on Saturday. I thought I was ok. Nothing more than wounded pride and a few scrapes and bruises. It is now Wednesday, my leg is swollen as well as my ankle and foot. My leg is tender in the area of where I hit when I fell. The leg is also warm to the touch.
Thanks for writing to us, I have studied your case with diligence. As per your history and injury pattern there can be persistent tear if ankle ligament leading to pain and swelling along with minor fracture. Instability may increase due to laxity of ligament. I will advise repeating MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement and any fracture line. 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 weeks to heal. 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.
