was at a water park today and in coming down from a slide, I hit the back of my right foot/ankle on the slide. i can not walk without severe pain in this area. I've iced my ankle but the pain seems to be getting worse. Any idea on what may have occurred? Should I see a doctor?
Hi,You may have a tendon injury or a fracture. I suggest you go to the ED for assessment and X-ray. Take paracetamol and ibuprofen and elevate your foot if possible. Regards,Dr K A Pottinger
