Right ankle injury
I fell from staircase. I had my X-ray done . It shows normal report. But my bone still pains alot and on touching the affected part the pain is tremendous . I have difficulty in walking too. I have a busy lifestyle, so I can't rest. Should I go for a plaster splint ? Or an ankle band would be enough?

Your pain might originate from damaged ligaments around injured area.
Try local ice pack application and medications like Enzomac and Ultracet will help.
