I've had 3 xrays done and nothing has shown up. My 3 smallest toes won't move I have a lump just under my ankle bone and the pain is shooting up through my ankle. Its very difficult to stand on for even 5 minutes. I've been to physio 2 weeks after the injury and they said it'll be fine.

They told me it was ligaments but people are telling me there could be more wrong. What should I do?

    Are you seeing a foot specialist? Gosh, when ligaments are involved things can get tough. Maybe another opinion?

    Ligaments can be harder to heal than a broken bone it can also take longer .don't put to much pressure on it

    I pulled ligaments 4 year's ago and it took a good 6 week's to heal

    Hello I just wanted to say that I broke my foot in two places and it did not show up on the xray. I had to get a CT scan for the fractures to be seen. Maybe you should demand a CT or MRI to see exactly what's going on. Best wishes!!
