Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Foot And Ankle

Hello, Doctor. Recently I was playing basketball and as I jumped up to block a shot, I came back down and twisted my ankle. I m not sure if its just a twisted ankle. I m not sure If its sprained or if I tore something. I can barely walk, can t jump, difficulty going up and down steps. By the way, my foot has not swelled but it always hurt when I put pressure on it.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got injury to your ankle. It is most likely ankle sprain. However you can get your x ray to rule out fracture. Treatment of it is immobilization with splint or cast. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful for pain relief. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
