torn ligiment in foot
Dear Dr. Perry,About a month ago I was running in the woods and twisted my foot.
I heard a snap, it was quite painful.
Went to doctor, nothing broken.
He rapped it in a teated gauze and I used a crutch for a week.
I can walk now, but still with some tenderness.
Tried to run today, but still too painfull.
Is it ok to power walk now?
What would be your suggestion for the most rapid and total recovery? Thanks!!Ed

I think that there is a good chance you have a fracture. It is not unusual for certain kinds of fractures not to show up on initial X-Rays, but be obvious on follow-up X-rays a few weeks later. Please follow up with a doctor for X-rays, and let us know what he diagnoses. Good luck.
