Sprained ankles/ still swollen when walking & pain
Posted , 4 users are following.
iIsprained my ankle on holiday abroad in early May this year. It bruised really badly & was very swollen. I couldn't bare putting my foot on the ground at first but because we had booked a couple of trips I decided to carry on . I didn't see a Doctor. I did report the accident though. 8 weeks on my foot swells up if I walk on it & it aches. It feels crackly. I have seen the Doctor since I've been back she didn't think it was broken. It seems to be worse lately.
I would like to have an X-ray to just make sure. Has anyone else had the same problem?
many thanks

You definitely see a doctor and xray. If it's more than a sprain you could be doing more damage walking on it.

If you're in the UK go to the a and e department of you're local hospital I think it needs a x-ray to rule out breaks or fractures good luck healing regards dawn

Hi Louise, this sounds as if it is more than a sprain. Go have x-rays done asap. I have heard of people walking with a broken ankle for weeks before going to a doctor. You will definitely do more harm if it is broken and don't have it seen to . Please keep us posted on what the outcome is.
