ANKEL SPRAIN PROBLEM

2017-09-20 08:47:30
5 days ago I got ankel sprain. Slipped in stairs. Left foot got twisted. That day i visit a public hospital.I was unable to stand on my feet. In the hospital i have to use wheel chair. Doctor told me to do x ray. I did it but bones are safe. He just told me to give ice there and wrap a good crap bandage and give a painkiller DURAPAIN. My pain is all gone in the next day but cant use my left leg for 2 days. Then i can walk slowly but whenever i tried to walk i feel pain in the ligaments. 5 days passed. The swelled portion is gradually reduced but still i cant walk. Could you please suggest me what should i do next ? I have admission in few days so i want to walk normally quickly. Please help me with this problem. Please
