broken ankle

(2 discussions)

My daughter is a gymnast and has broken her ankle.
She also has problems with her feet and has to wear orthotics in her trainer/shoes. When the cast is removed she want to know which support to wear during training sessions. We have been looking at the Act support and the Mallotrain support.
Which would you reccommend?

    : Today I had a cast put on my ankle due to ligament damage after a fall. Is it normal for the foot to feel numb? What can I do to prevent this from happening and be more comfortable with the cast on?

      I have had a bad fall off from a 5″ high slab of cement and have either sprained or broken my ankle. This was done 5 days ago today. I have not gone to a doctor because I have no insurance. My foot and leg all the way up my calf is not only is very swollen, but feels very numb and as if it is very cold. It is black across the base of my toes, and on the one side of my foot. I am trying to treat this myself as if it is a sprain. Can you tell me if this sounds as though this is just a sprain? Also, what can happen if I am not able to see a doctor..? Thank you so much. . 45 year old female. Michigan.
