Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I stepped in a hole about 6 hours ago and injured my ankle. I have a knot on the outside of the ankle that is about the size of my fist that feels hard. I have applied ice and elevated it, but am still having a great deal of pain. I can walk on it, but it hurts enough that I avoid walking. is my ankle severely sprained or broken?
