Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
As per your history pattern there can be tear in ankle ligament .


Till time you can continue physiotherapy exercises and also use supportive splint or brace.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing.

If there is ligament tear then arthroscopic ankle ligament repair can be done.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
