I developed pain just above my outside ankle after walking for exercise. The pain continued for about 10 days then moved across to the upper part of my foot nearest the ankles. Wrapping it with an ace bandage seemed to make it worse. I can walk slowly and deliberately without much pain but if I step on an uneven surface the pain is severe. Should I see a doctor or just give the injury more time to heal?
cannot say in your particular case, but generally,sprains and strains are not severe pain and limiting movement with an ace helps the pain. More serious strains/fractures would give more pain and be a reason to see a specialist. Most minor stuff is getting better in 1-2 days, but this does NOT seem that minor.
