Ankle injury
My ankle twisted walking on the road in Mid of november. I thought its normal and ignored. After 10 days got xray and doctor said ligament tear. I took pain killers n inflammation tablets. Went to a hakkim and got it taped. Rested. It improved but then as i walked pain increased. Then got physio done ultrasound and current one. Did hot water and salt dip also. Wore a splint while walking.
Then got MRI and its saying tibialis posterior tenosynovitis and no tear.
There is slight improvement now but still it pains and doesnt feel normal. Weight bearing is not proper and when i walk after that it starts hurting.
Attaching my MRI and xray.
Please suggest treatment options.

Based on your MRI, you have tibialis posterior tenosynovitis, which means inflammation of a tendon on the inner side of the ankle, not a ligament tear. This commonly causes pain during walking and difficulty with proper weight bearing, especially after activity. The condition usually improves with strict rest, good arch-support footwear, and targeted physiotherapy rather than just medicines. avoid barefoot walking, long walks, running, and uneven surfaces for a few weeks. With correct care and patience, most people recover fully within 8â12 weeks without surgery.
