Ligament injury recovery time
Hello, I’ve had a grade 3 ligament injury between my toe & ankle. It was in cast for 3 weeks. Post which had physiotherapy for a week. It’s almost been 4 months and I still have trouble walking. Can’t put much weight on my leg. My doc said it will take 3-4 months. Is it normal? Should I take a second opinion? Please advise! Thank you!

Ideal time for immobilisation in ankle sprain 4 weeks.
I do not think your condition will improve further without any intervention.
Try PRP or intralesional steroids to reduce pain and swelling , along with contrast bath.
Medications like Enzomac and Tendocare will help.
Health Tips
PRP may help in healing, worth trying at this stage.

Ligaments injury takes longer to heal than bone injury is the truth! Idea of second opinion is equally good
