Ankle Cracked In 2 Different Spots And Turning Colors. No Insurance Suggestions?
my moms ankle is cracked in 2 different spots and her ankle is turning colors. she needs pins put in her ankle but her doctors keep turning her away due to no insurance. i tried finding a doctor that will do a payment plan as long as she is employed which she is. but they keep denyingher. she cant go thru this pain and suffer what would be the best thing to do.
HI Thank for choosing, HCM, this is purely orthopedic injury for better opinion x-ray is needed of fracture part, in bony fracture surgical intervention is always required, but some time without this better result can be achieved, consult some old timer orthopedic surgeon who practice old system of casting ( Plaster) splint, external support etc. mean while foot elevation is must along with inflammatory drug with serratiopeptidase , if you do nothing then malunion will took place and some time causes difficulty in walking, keep eye on injury side for infection part, if you notice it then consult the doctor immediately, take good care of your mother, Have a nice day.
