Could Pulsation In The Fractured Ankle Be A Matter Of Concern?
I have had a broken ankle for approximately 8 weeks. For the first 5 weeks, I just thought it was a sprain so I have walked on it quite a bit. I now have an air cast on, however it feels like there is a pulsing in my ankle, almost like there is something under my skin moving around. Do you think this is something serious? Thank you

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a sprained ankle. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to use a splint to maintain the ankle immobilized. Cold compresses for local application can also be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
