I hurt my ankle almost a year ago and the pain won’t go away
Posted , 3 users are following.
I am a dancer and when trying out for my team i was doing a big turning leap and landed wrong on my right ankle falling to the ground. i went to the ER after it swelled up so bad they could not do anything so the next day i went to the ortho and had to get an MRI and then i found out i had a severe atfl tear i was in a boot for three months and it started to feel better but i have been dancing again and anytime i leap or even do a simple comb i cant stand the pain. i cant afford to get it looked at but the pain is exhausting. please i need help for this.

Kenzie,
You can't afford to not get it looked at by an foot and ankle orthopedist. Ankle injuries are, at the best, difficult to treat but not having it treated by a specialist will only result in more problems in the future. I know. I let my ankle injury go for a long time and now I must have surgery. Good luck and keep dancing.

This may sound like a drastic thing to say, but forget all about dancing or any other kind of athletic, ankle-intensive activity, at least for the immediately foreseeable future. If you trash your ankle now, it may well stay trashed for the rest of your life. Even a nasty ankle injury which eventually heals up after quite a long time will still predispose you to suffering from arthritis in the future, and at an earlier age than the rest of your peer group.
If the pain is grinding you down, hobble back to the emergency room, tell it like it is and ask them to advise you on what a person in your position should do.
