Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Ankle

I fell yesterday and now my foot feels like it needs to crack, kind of like it s stiff or stuck. I can walk but it hurts mostly on the inside top area. No bruising or swelling. Could I have dislocated something? It hurts near that bone on the inside near my ankle.

Hello,

An x-ray is always good on a safer side to rule out any bony Injury. Looks like by history is a ankle sprain. But x-ray can reveal more details.

First of all immobilizing the ankle in the crepe bandage or ankle brace will be good. Doing icing or hot water fermentation will be good for pain relief.

In case x-ray turns out to be normal and no fracture than post 3 weeks exercise will good to regain strength. For ankle stabilization balance board training will be good.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
