What Does Burning Sensation On Sprained Ankle Indicate?
I m pretty sure I sprained my right ankle yesterday. I can put weight on it, there is little to no bruising and the swelling has gone down a little but I have a constant burning sensation on the outter side of my ankle going up my calf a little. Is this something I should worry about. I plan on going to work tomorrow.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the sprained ankle. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I recommend to use cold compresses for local application. I suggest to use a splint to prevent further damage of the ankle.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
