Fractured my left ankle

2018-06-08 16:01:40
Hi doctor.. your advise would be very helpful. I actually met with an accident a month back and had fractured my ankle. After taking an x-ray I visited a local chiropractic which is known as puttur bone setter in Shivajinagar and he put a cast on my left ankle and advised me that the fracture would heal within a month. It's now been over a month and I removed the cast yesterday and still face difficulty in walking. My ankle hurts a lot and its swollen and I am unable to walk. Can you advise me.
