Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I broke my left ankle on June 9th of this year from missing a step or tripping on a step. the x-ray showed a "maleolar fracture. I had it in a boot walker for 8 weeks and when that came off, I was unable to bear full weight and still had pain along the outer part of my ankle and if I put weight on it I would get sharp pain on the outer side and down through the bottom of my foot. Repeat x-ray showed a "defect of the talus bone". Is this something that happened when I initially broke my ankle or later? I was not referred to Ortho when it happened
