Ankle pain
Hi doctor
While I was going downstairs on Thursday.I mistakenly and without knowledge skipped one stair and taken two stairs at a time and then while putting the foot down due to shock,I twisted my right foot.this is my xray.
Could you please let me know the diagnosis and if this is a fracture or muscle strain ?
And how much time it will take to heal and get back on my foot and do regular work and long walk easily
