Ankle Injury
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi all! So I fell while trail running back in August. Sprained my ankle. Then proceeded to have it give out on me 4 more times. I went to my orthopedic and he put me in an air cast, which I've now had for over 3 weeks. He did an MRI Thursday and I get the results Monday. But I'm curious. None of the pain, swelling have gone away and I have zero movement. Pain is lateral and anterior. Something deep within the joint? Ankle and foot will also turn purple. Xrays negative. Help? This waiting game is killing me. Thanks!

Hi Jamie. I sprained my ankle last August, initially told just a sprain and no treatment given. Totally overdid it at work, also a teacher so never got better. Had private Physio but he stopped after few weeks as he wanted it checked out again. Following referral & a MRI in Jan this showed 2 torn ligaments & alvusion fracture! Explained the pain! Had two injections didn’t work so had ligament reconstruction surgery in June. Up until couple of weeks ago was doing brilliantly, back at work full time with no ankle support. Not sure what has gone wrong but now pain, swelling and gets very red and angry also lots of clunking! Hoping just temporary! Good luck with your results.

Oh my! I've been working 11 hour days recently so I definitely understand that! I hope you feel better soon, and thank you!

Okay so no severe structural damage. Some minor cartilage tears but nothing bad. Just a VERY severe sprain. So got a cortisone shot and will start PT. If all else fails, he will go in and tighten up the ligaments that are stretched out. All in all I'm lucky!
