Pulsating pain on right foot
Hello, I had a sprain on my right foot after twisting my right ankle 2 months back. Ever since then, the pulsating pain is continuous pain is on my foot. There is no fracture and there are no issues with bones after consulting an orthopaedic few weeks ago.
The pulsating pain is unbearable, I am able to walk, sprint but not run. There is no swelling just pulsating pain. I took 3 days of ultrasound physiotherapy last month and the pain went away but came back after a week.

Hi, sprained Ankle takes 3-6weeks time, depending upon the severity of sprain & type of rest.
Also it needs proper rehabilitation to strengthen the joint & surrounding muscles.
Without that Recurrence is very common.

Hey there! It seems that your injury did not heal properly. It may be due to improper rest. It takes time to heal and also depends on person to person. Please give proper resting period to your foot and ankle. Do icing for pain. Visit the physiotherapist for not only ultrasound but complete therapy. After the pain lowers, start some ankle toe movements. Do "slight" stretching exercises and proper strengthening exercises. Taping will also prove beneficial. Your physiotherapist can also do slight massage.
For full recovery (in recovery phase) use therapeutic functional drill exercises, balance board exercises, static cycling, single leg balance exercise, etc.
You need to take proper treatment. Only ultrasound will not do. And it takes time.
Next Steps
please follow advice.
