Suggest Treatment For Cracks On The Ankle
Hi, i tripped today over a bag while running. i heard multiple cracks in my right ankle. Now I m in severe pain, even without applying pressure. I am icing now. The pain seems to be in the bones, not muscles, at the top of my foot towards the right, and the outer half of my ankle. Any ideas as to whats wrong?

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
As per the history it looks more to me as a ligament injury and needs a thorough clinical examination and an MRI.
also, the area you are mentioning is looking as the ligament injury due to which the bones are making sound and the pain is high.
With physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy your pain should come down and with simple exercises your muscles should become stronger.
