Hi doctor, I have injured my ankle while playing basketball. I have a swollen ankle on the left side and slightly less minor swelling on the right side of my ankle. I have a splint and taking calcium medicine along with other medicine and painkiller to reduce swelling. X-ray initially suggested a minor hairline crack on the edge of the medial malleolus. However, a second opinion doctor said since there is not much swelling; it is less likely to be a fracture. Can you advise on the degree of injury? How long will it take to heal?
