Suggest treatment for ankle pain
Patient: Last night i was at cheer practice and while I was tumbling, i landed on my ankle/leg weirdly. It hurt a little whenever i landed, but the pain was not too bad. I kept practicing and my whole leg would hurt when i would do certain things, but it was not too bad. By the end of practice, i could not walk on it at all without tons of pain. I iced it this morning, and last night and also took advil this morning and last night. Today my ankle, knee, and thigh area are swollen. I can put some weight on my leg without too much pain, but I can not walk normally without TONS of pain. I have had problems in the past with patella tracking, but it has not bothered me recently. Doctor: Hi there thanks for your question. If you have any pain when  you stand or walk on your injured ankle, it suggests severity of injury and warrants further  work up whcih wil include a X ray at the least. Ice and rest usually give relief in pain and swelling over the first two days. But you are not expected to have pain on standing or walking in mild injuries.Such pain should suggest you to take your injury seriously to avoid long term ligament related pains. Hope this helps All the best. Regards.Dr.SBK
