Sprained ankle 5 weeks ago, still swollen?
Posted , 5 users are following.
My doctor did an x-ray and found no fractures so he had me wear a boot until there's no more pain and then 1 week after that.
Here we are 5 weeks later and it is still swollen and very painful to touch the swollen area. Walking isn't as painful as it was 5 weeks ago but I feel like it should be completely healed by this point.
Does anyone have any experience in this? Or advice?

For a sprain, 5 weeks really isn't long at all, and almost none are completely healed at that point. However, if at 5 weeks it's not any better, it could very well be soft tissue damage that needs an MRI to be seen, so that's what I would suggest...because the sooner that's caught and dealt with the better.

Would you please explain what “bone island” is? What is means here?
I also have something similar in my new MRI after the surgery!
It says: "Small bone island in the distal and fibula is evident."
What is this? What should I do?
