Twisted Ankle, Painful. Wrapped In Ace Bandage. What Is Wrong?
during the spring i rolled/twisted my right foot during a softball practice. The pain went away for a while but then it came back during the summer. the doctor said it was because i was wearing flip flops but i didn t believe that because once school started i stopped wearing flip flops and the pain continued. Last week i stepped off the sidewalk wrong and kind of twisted/ rolled my ankle again. The pain is in my ankle and on the side of my foot kind of near my pinky toe. I have been wrapping it in an ace bandage and trying not to walk on it as much. My mom thinks i should go out and get orthopedic soles for my shoes to see if that helps. i was just wondering if you had an idea of what was wrong with my foot
hi, Its sprain of ankle and your ligaments which support the ankle joint are affected and ligaments take along time to heal . Since your ankle again gets twisted so it is mandatory that you should get MRI of your ankle done to know the condition of your ankle which will effect further treatment . In the mean time you can take rest+ice packs+compression bandage + elevation of your foot while sleeping by keeping pillow below your leg and place your foot on chair so that your foot might not remain in dependent position to avoid further swelling which will occur in the mean time ..till then be happy donot worry its not a major problem . thanx
