Ankle Ligament Tear

2018-05-14 14:55:46
I used suffer from sudden in my left thigh and calf, slowly the pain built into my left ankle. When I visited an Orthopedist, they said it is a flat feet. Clearly, it was not a flat feet. So I chose to take a second opinion with another Orthopedist, he started the treatment for a minor crack in one of the bones near the ankle joint. The pain was still there and sort of increasing. And then the other day, I twisted my ankle. I visited a traditional healer, this time, as I was not satisfied with the doctors. The twisting caused severe pain. It was not so much when it happened but increased crazily in the next couple of days. I visited the first Orthopedist again and he said I have a ligament tear. For the first week, i was bedridden, Not able to walk and did icing for the entire.  I started Physiotherapy as suggested by the Orthopedician. I have been going for Physiotherapy for three weeks now. The pain has decreased and movement has increased. when willibe able to walk properly?

Try to immobilise injured ankle for 4-6 weeks. You should not walk over injured ankle. Share xrays.
