What Is The Treatment For Broken Ankle With Severe Pain?
I was on hydrocodone all last year and since I broke my ankle I ve been in pain once off pain meds! I have to travel this week so I m scared of not walking. My ankle is still hurting! However my previous MD is not up here in Michigan where I moved. Otherwise I would have contacted him. Dr s extremely limited here!
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult orthopedic doctor for your ankle pain. You broke your ankle before 1 year and still getting severe pain if you stop your painkiller. This suggest that either there is poor healing of fracture or there is nerve impringment (nerve in between two fracture segments). So consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and MRI of that ankle joint for the diagnosis of above mentioned possibilities. You may need re surgery for proper fracture healing. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
